6 FAQs about [Capacitor zero sequence tripping]

Do MV networks need maximum zero sequence voltage protection?

In countries where the MV network is operating in resonant grounding, the use of maximum zero sequence voltage protection is not required given the ability to operate permanently with a phase-to-ground fault and the persistent zero sequence voltage, even without fault, due to the near operation of the resonance point.
