Disconnecting one phase of an ungrounded-wye delta transformer bank from the source can result In severe overvoltages due to neutral shirt and ferroresonance. Neutral shirt overvoltages are quantified and their Impact on metal-oxide surge arresters are evaluated. Ferroresonance is shown by test data to occur when low-loss banks, 15 kV and higher, are open phased. Design and operating practices to eliminate or mitigate these self-generated overvoltages are discussed.
