NEUTRAL GROUNDING RESISTORS

INFORISE NGRs are used to ground the star (neutral) point of transformers or generators in industrial power systems. A neutral grounding resistor limits the fault current to a value which is sufficient enough to operate protective relays and prevent unwanted fault damages.

Operating voltage: < 110 kV (line to line)
Rated current: < 5000 A

 

Advantages of using NGR:

 Protecting transformers or generators from a damage caused by a ground fault by limiting the fault current to a safe value;
 Detecting the fault by a current transformer  inside the neutral grounding resistor;
 Reducing the short-term overvoltages
 Increasing safety for personnel
 Improving reliability of power system
 Increasing lightning protection
 Reducing operation/maintenance expenses
