Description
Block Earthing Transformer It is a three-phase neutral grounding transformer with a winding connection according to the Zigzag scheme. This unit allows you to create an artificial neutral in an ungrounded three-phase power supply system. The artificial neutral creates a low-resistance path for the zero-sequence current and a high-resistance path for the direct sequence current. The presence of a common point allows the use of a voltage source connected according to the Triangle scheme to connect a single-phase load.
For more information about the operating modes of a three-phase system connected according to the Triangle scheme, see Recommendations for delta connection of transformer windings.

The equations
This unit is implemented in both the electrical and magnetic fields, representing the physics of phase windings and a magnetic core. An equivalent block diagram includes blocks Reluctance, Winding and Eddy Current.

When the windings are zigzagged, phases a, b, and c represent each rod of the magnetic core.
The relationship between electrical and magnetic properties can be obtained by applying several mathematical steps based on the rule of conservation of magnetic flux and Ohm’s law for a magnetic circuit.
For grounding transformers, the connections between the phases and all windings are the same.
In the equations below:
-
— the number of turns of the winding;
-
— magnetizing resistance between phases;
-
— leakage resistance of the primary winding;
-
— the conductivity of the eddy current loop between the phases.
Then the relationship between the inductance matrix in the electrical domain and the inductance matrix in the magnetic domain can be written as:
The diagonal elements are the sum of the scattering inductance and the magnetizing inductance for each phase, so that:
Therefore:
