The primary function of a grounding transformer is to provide an artificial neutral point for power systems whose transformers or generators lack a natural neutral (e.g., delta-connected systems). This artificial

Under what circumstances should an arc suppression coil be taken out of service when it is installed?
When installing an arc suppression coil, it is important to identify the conditions under which the coil should be taken out of service. The arc suppression coil should be disconnected under the following circumstances: When a transformer is being de-energized, the neutral-point disconnector must be opened first before performing any switching operations on the transformer. The energizing sequence is the reverse: the neutral-point disconnector should be closed only after the transformer is energ
