Abstract :
Selecting proper transformer winding connections along with the neutral grounding has played an important role in the design and applications of power system protection scheme at all levels for many decades. This paper addresses how a transformer connection and the grounding currently utilized in various distributed generation projects can have a considerable impact in the future on a utilities distribution system.
