We have a 4160 V system that is low resistance grounded. The transformer supplying the 4.16 kV system is a 10 MVA, 13.8 kV Delta-Wye with a 12 Ohm neutral ground resistor. There is a temporary feeder being installed to supply some 480 V equipment along with a 4160-480 V transformer, however, the transformer that is being provided is a Wye-Wye transformer. My questions are:
- What is the effect on the 4.16 kV system, specifically the ground fault protection, if the transformer is installed and the Wye-Wye transformer is solidly grounded on both the primary and secondary? Can this transfomer feed only three-phase loads?
- What happens if the neutrals of both the primary and secondary are left floating? I know that there are the typical issues that occur when a system is left ungrounded and that some form of ground detection on the 480 V system would be requireded, but are there any other limitations?
