An 'oscillating' neutral can exist when the star point of a three-phase, star (wye) connected, secondary winding becomes disconnected from earth (ground) -e.g. if copper thieves have removed the earth conductor or it simply becomes disconnected. This results in a 'floating neutral', in which the phase voltages are no longer necessarily equal to each other (in other words, the three phase voltages have become 'unbalanced') the extent to which depends upon how unbalanced the supplied load is. An 'oscillating' neutral occurs when the displacement of the neutral point changes as it responds to changes in the unbalanced load currents.

What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?
there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils
You can use neutral to autotransformer?
Yes, but the transformer must have both the hot and neutral to work as designed. A auto-transformer is not a variable resistor that could reduce current/voltage by a change in the resistance which could be used in the hot and or neutral wire. An auto-transformer is designed to have the hot wire and neutral on each end of the winding with a variable tap in between. The resistance of the transformer and the inductance will effect the circuit to a limited way if placed in the neutral but this effect will not vary the voltage over the full range, the amount of voltage reduction will vary with the load's current draw, see ohms law. Neither a resistor or a auto-transformer connected in the neutral line only will increase the voltage above the level of the input like a correctly connected auto-transformer . Stanley
Why is the neutral point grounded on a transformer?
The secondary side (output) of a three phase transformer develops a "separately derived system". That is why you do notsupply a neutral to a three phase transformer. It develops its own reference to ground by being bonded to the transformer casing and to a substantial earth ground, such as a ground rod. The XO tap on a transformer provides the neutral to the secondary line. It will have a double wire lug. The neutral wire going to the panel being supplied goes under one lug and the same size wire is to go to the ground lug on the transformer chassis The ground lug is also a double with the other lug to be wired to the earth ground.
What is an Earthed voltage transformer?
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
Can you put transformers in series to double your voltage?
You can if done carefully. The neutral of one transformer must be set up to be at the positive voltage of the other transformer. This might require an intermediate step transformer that is center tapped (so three instead of 2 transformers).
How do you install earthing neutral for transformer in transformer room?
you shouldn't do it yourself, get an electrician.
What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
Voltage across Neutral and earth for a 3 phase auto transformer?
A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.
How do you earth in the 1600 kva transformer?
In 1600 kva transformer we provide NGR (Neutral grounding resistance)
Can you applied the voltage to neutral of the transformer?
The neutral of a transformer is usually grounded. Under this situation, this question is the same as asking whether you can apply a voltage to ground; the answer is yes, but I don't know why you'd want to. Sometimes transformer neutrals are insulated away from ground. If this is done, then you could inject "backwards" from the neutral up into the transformer. Again, I don't know why you would want to do this, though.

What is the power line voltage between phase and earthing?
It is the same as phase to neutral. As the neutral is earthed at the electricity suppliers transformer.
How do you reduce neutral to earth voltage in three phase system?
It is done by connecting the neutral to earth at the transformer that produces the three-phase supply. If the three phase wire supply equal currents, there is no current in the neutral wire and its whole length stays at earth potential, but if there is current in the neutral it produces a small voltage on the neutral at places away from the transformer.
What is an Earthed voltage transformer?
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
