class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12085\" data-end=\"12198\">Consider a utility-scale solar PV plant using a three-phase inverter system without a directly available neutral.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12200\" data-end=\"12348\">The system operates normally with three phase conductors, but the electrical design requires a defined neutral grounding point for fault protection.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12350\" data-end=\"12451\">A suitable <strong data-start=\"12361\" data-end=\"12394\">Zig-Zag grounding transformer<\/strong> can be installed at the appropriate point in the system.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12453\" data-end=\"12497\">The basic arrangement can be represented as:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12499\" data-end=\"12599\"><strong data-start=\"12499\" data-end=\"12599\">PV Inverters \u2192 Medium-Voltage Collection System \u2192 Grounding Transformer \u2192 Neutral \u2192 Ground \/ NGR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12601\" data-end=\"12695\">During normal balanced operation, the grounding transformer carries relatively little current.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12697\" data-end=\"12961\">If a phase-to-ground fault occurs, the grounding transformer provides the zero-sequence path required by the grounding design. The resulting controlled fault current allows the protection system to detect the abnormal condition and disconnect the affected circuit.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"12963\" data-end=\"13191\">The exact transformer rating cannot be determined from the PV plant&#8217;s MW rating alone. The system voltage, required ground-fault current, fault duration, zero-sequence impedance and continuous neutral current must be considered.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"13193\" data-end=\"13331\">This is why grounding-transformer design should be based on the <strong data-start=\"13257\" data-end=\"13288\">electrical protection study<\/strong>, not simply the total
