When two or more generating sets, operating in parallel, are used to supply an installation, the

protective earthing of the generator frames and associated metalwork should follow the same
procedure as that described for only one generating set. However, the method of supply system
earthing for the generator windings should be chosen considering the magnitude of the circulating
currents, commonly third harmonic, which can flow in the neutral/earthing conductors. To overcome
such problems, one of the following arrangements should be selected
