Note: As per TCE/Energn contract the ground fault limiting current for generator neutral is 1A. As per system capacitance considered (As per above calculation), The capacitive current value is 7.275Amps. But according to the design philosophy the resistive component of the ground fault current should be greater than or equal to capacitive component, to minimize the voltage surges. Hence 1A is not a realistic figure as a limiting current for generator nuetral
