← TechnologyWhich consequence results when ground impedance is high in substation delta-wye transformer systems?
A)Increased ground fault current
B)Reduced system harmonic distortion
C)Elevated neutral-to-ground voltage✓
D)Decreased transformer core saturation
💡 Explanation
High ground impedance limits fault current, because of Ohm's law; consequently, the neutral-to-ground voltage rises rather than remaining near zero during unbalanced loads, therefore protection equipment may malfunction. A lower impedance offers a path for better fault current flow,
