and transformer neutral point grounded by small reactance. Transformer neutral point grounded by small reactance can be done without affecting power flow in power grid and can also lower the transformer insulation requirement and building costs.Meanwhile
it can avoid breaker changing
which means heavy workload and money waste
and the key is to choose the right parameters for the small reactance. This paper comes up with the equivalent zero sequence reactance formula through theoretical derivation. Based on the formula
power system analysis software package( PSASP) is used to calculate single phase short circuit current with different reactance parameters
and curves are used to directly show the reactance limiting effect.
