Hello Fellas,
Just some thoughts on a problem I encountered with a 3 phase 200KVA diesel generator. It was supplying a 3 phase + E 75Kw motor. The problem I encountered was that the earth was floating between the phase. Expected to see 415V between earth and phase but encountered about 120v under no load conditions.
Generator was being used in a marine enviroment so not too sure about earthing arrangements on marine vessels. Any thoughts ? I was told later that it would be wise to tie the earth and neutral together on the generator by a link ?? Not really sure about that would like to hear anyone's thoughts, cheers
