N2  - Grounding is an important part of an electrical system as it provides electrical  path from the system to the ground. It helps prevent electrical shocks, reduces the risk  of equipment damage from lightning or power surges, and provides a path for fault  currents to safely dissipate, minimizing the risk of fire. But depending on the  transformer configuration, the needed grounding system may vary.  Currently, the College of Engineering’s electrical distribution system operates  under an open-delta transformer configuration which has been deemed inefficient by  the cited literatures and by the power quality assessment conducted on this study as it  failed to meet multiple standards. Originally, the system was designed to run on a wye delta transformer configuration. This study used the said system and simulated it under  different grounding systems, namely solidly grounded, resistance grounded, and  ungrounded system, using electrical analysis program.   The simulation results show that in a wye-delta system, it is safer to unground  the wye side as it has been found that grounding provides a path for backfeed short  circuit current to flow. This could affect the power quality of the system in terms of  voltage stability, harmonics and transient stability as proved by the literatures cited
