7.4.2.2 Transformer winding, earthed through zig-zag earthing transformer
A common application is for low reactance earthed transformer where the earthing is
through separate zig-zag earthing transformers. The fault current is then limited to
typical 800 to 2000 A for each transformer. The connection for this application is
shown in figure
73.
