The grounding transformer is referred to as grounding transformer for short. According to the filling medium, the grounding transformer can be divided into oil type and dry type; According to the number of phases, the grounding transformer can be divided into three-phase grounding transformer and single-phase grounding transformer. The function of the grounding transformer is to provide an artificial neutral point for the system with ungrounded neutral point, which is convenient for the use of arc suppression coil or small resistance grounding mode, so as to reduce the capacitance current to ground in case of grounding short circuit fault in the distribution network and improve the power supply reliability of the distribution system.
