A 3-phase, 20 MVA, 11kV star connected alternator is protected by Merz-Price circulating current system. The star point is earthed through a resistance of 5 ohms. If the CTs have a ratio of 1000/5 and the relay is set to operate when there is an out of balance current of 1-5 A, calculate : (i) the percentage of each phase of the stator winding which is unprotected (ii) the minimum value of earthing resistance to protect 90% of the winding [(i) 23-6% (ii) 2-12 ]
