Calculating Capacitance Parameters in transformers:
Ground capacitance calculations:
Ground capacitance Cg = C1 + C2
C1 is the capacitance between impulsed winding and the grounded LV winding on the same
limb.
C2 is capacitance between impulsed HV winding of the side limb and the grounded
transformer tank.

𝐶1 = 𝐹
ln(𝐷⁄𝑑)
𝜋𝜀0 𝜀𝑟 𝑙1
𝐶2 = 𝐹
ln(𝐷⁄𝑑 )
‘D’ and ‘d’ are the outer and inner diameter of the high voltage winding respectively.
l1 is the axial height of the discs.
Series Capacitance Calculations:
