The design of the three-purpose grounding transformer
Underground Power Cable Transmission LinesDirect - buried power cable lines have large ground - distributed capacitance, causing high single - phase - to - ground short - circuit capacitive current. For 10 kV lines, if this current exceeds 10 A, arcs hardly self - extinguish, risking arc overvoltage and endangering line equipment. Arc extinction is thus necessary. With a Dyn - connected main transformer, an arc - suppression coil on the secondary neutral point suffices. For Yd - connected ones,
