To improve coordination between resistors and relays and to avoid loss of protection, many neutral grounding Resistors are now being designed with integral combination ground fault and monitoring relays. Resistance grounding can limit point-of-fault damages, eliminate transient overvoltages, reduce arc-flash hazards, limit voltage exposure to. Ungrounded: There is no intentional ground applied to the system-however it's grounded through natural capacitance. Reactance Grounded: Total system capacitance is cancelled by equal inductance. damage comes from two factors, how long the fault lasts and the fault magnitude. In those zones as a safety measure, the neutral terminal (star point) of the power transformer secondary is grounded through a suitable neutral grounding resistor (N. Illustration of an NGR installed between the transformer neutral and ground What is a Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR)? A. This paper discusses the many different system grounding practices and information on different grounding methods, as well as safety, National Electrical CodeT requirements, and operational considerations such as continuity of service. Examples of proper applications within various industries will.
