Note:

As per TCE/Energn contract the ground fault limiting current for generator neutral is 1A. As per system

capacitance considered (As per above calculation), The capacitive current value is 7.275Amps. But according to the

design philosophy the resistive component of the ground fault current should be greater than or equal to

capacitive component, to minimize the voltage surges. Hence 1A is not a realistic figure as a limiting current for

generator nuetral
