Why and how is reactance grounding done?
Reactance grounding is done to lower ground fault current amounts, often to protect generators. It's done by tying the neutral of a generator to a grounding reactor (the other side of the reactor is tied to ground).
Why in electrical wiring you need both neutral and ground if neutral is zero voltage why you cannot used it as a ground?
The neutral is a current-carrying conductor, the grounding wire is not; it is for safety as an ALTERNATE path to ground. For example, if something happens to disconnect the neutral or if the hot side comes into contact with conductive portions of an appliance, the grounding conductor can save a life by providing a safe fault mechanism.
How do you earth in the 1600 kva transformer?
In 1600 kva transformer we provide NGR (Neutral grounding resistance)
What is the difference between ground and floating neutral in your electric panel?
Neutral is vital to complete the cicuit. Ground is vital to carry the current to earth during a malfuntion of the appliance using power to drive it, should the current come in contact with the frame or outer covering of the appliance and endangering the users life.
How do you avoid floating neutral?
The neutral of a generator should never get into a condition where is is floating. All generators have the neutral tied to the frame of the generator set. It comes this way from the manufacturer. If it is floating then someone has disconnected the neutral wire from the frame. Just reconnect the neutral to the generator frame again to stop it from floating. Larger generators should also have a ground rod connected to the generator frame for grounding purposes.
What is meant by neutral grounding reactor?
Neutral-earthing reactors or Neutral grounding reactors are connected between the neutral of a power system and earth to limit the line-to-earth current to a desired value under system earth fault conditions.
What is the process of bringing a negatively charged conductor in contact with the earth resulting in the conductor discharge until it is completely neutral called?
short
How to correct floating voltages in system neutral?
Floating means there's no reference to ground, so to fix this you supply a reference to ground (be it corner grounding, solidly grounding, high resistance grounding, etc.)
What is neutral grounding resistor panel?
A neutral grounding resistor panel is used to resist fault current to the ground. It is used for alternator protection protection purposes. When a fault occurs in the alternator, the panel helps force the current to the ground.
Where you have select unearthed cable?
Earthed cables shall be used wherever the syem Neutral grounding Solidly. Vise versa-Un earthed cable shall be used wherever the syem Neutral grounding through NER or Reactance.
Why neutral of generator is resistance grounded and neutral of motor is reactance grounded?
You can use resistance or reactance grounding on generators and motors. My understanding is resistance grounding is often used to limit ground fault currents to a few amperes, while reactance grounding will limit fault current to less than the three phase fault current. If reactance grounding is used to limit fault current o very little (like resistance grounding), transient overvoltage problems can occur.

What is neutral earthing?
Neutral earthing are grounding options available for both low and medium voltage power systems. It provides point of zero volts.
What is the importance of neutral and structure grounding?
Circuit is complet 1 phase,2 neutral...& groung is use for ignor e/f,current leakage.

Define earth voltage and neutral voltage?
As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground.
