Question: 7 . 2 An ungrounded 4 . 1 6 kV system has a capacitance to ground of 0 . 4 F per phase. In this

7.2 An ungrounded 4.16 kV system has a capacitance to ground of 0.4 F per phase. In this system, do the following:
a. Calculate the normal charging current in amperes per phase.
b. Calculate the fault current for a phase-a-to-ground fault.
c. Will this fault current operate a ground overcurrent relay set at 0.5 A pickup and connected to 100:5 CT or a ground sensor connected to a toroidal-type CT with a primary pickup of 5 A?
d. It has been decided to ground this system with a zigzag transformer and neutral resistor. The source to the 4.16 kV bus has X1=10% on 5000 kVA. If in this system X1 is 2.4% on the zigzag bank rating, what is the kVA of the zigzag bank?
e. In order to limit the overvoltage on the unfaulted phases to a maximum of 250% for possible restriking ground faults, it is necessary that
