Category: Transformer, Peterson Coil
Type: Modeling
Keywords: Peterson Coil, Transformer

A Peterson Coil is a coil that is connected between the ground and the neutral point of Y
connected transformer. Its purpose is to reduce the Line-Ground fault currents.

In ETAP, it is modeled as a neutral grounding reactor with the continuous current rating.
