NEUTRAL GROUNDING RESISTOR
Power Resistor
Introduction
Neutral Grounding Resistors are used for resistance
grounding of industrial power system. They are generally
connected between ground and neutral of transformers,
generators and grounding transformers. Neutral
Grounding Resistors are used in order to limit maximum
fault current to a value which will not damage the
equipment in the power system, yet allow sufficient flow
of fault current to operate protective relays to clear the
fault. Although it is possible to limit fault currents with
high resistance Neutral Grounding Resistors, phase to
ground short circuit currents can be extremely reduced.
As a result of this fact, protection devices may not sense
the fault. Therefore, it is the most common application to
limit single phase fault currents with low resistance
Neutral Grounding Resistors.
Functional
• Reducing single phase fault currents which occur in M.V.
electrical networks to prevent damages on transformers
and generators
• Reducing temporary over voltages occurred by braking
instantaneous fault current, . Providing long-life for
switchgear
• Reducing step voltages to a harmless level for staff

NEUTRAL GROUNDING RESISTOR
Feature
• Stainless-steel or NiCr resistor elements
• Current transformer included (EN 60044-1)
• Bolted resistor element connections instead of
welded connections in order to be able to
assemble spare parts on site immediately
• Typically, RAL 7032(and others) painted
• Typically, 2 mm hot dip galvanized steel enclosure
• Typically, 1.5 mm Stainless steel enclosure
• High thermal capacity to absorb high currents
• High altitude ratings
• Custom made lifting eyes provide secure lifting
• Rugged shock-resistant construction
Resistors are designed to absorb a large amount of
energy without exceeding temperature limitations
defined in IEEE 32. Neutral Grounding Resistors
manufacture can be used for indoor and outdoor and
the neutral point is connected with a porcelain
bushing or with a (minimum cross-section = 70 mm2
copper or 95 mm2 aluminum) high voltage (XLPE)
cable from the bottom, top or side. The most common
protection degree preferred for Neutral Grounding
Resistors is IP 23 as it allows the resistor elements to
cool easier and they can be used both at sea shores
and deserts because the resistor elements are
completely stainless steel and does not get affected by
extreme conditions. Neutral Grounding Resistors are
shipped with maintains and installation guidelines. In
maintains and installation guidelines, recommended
relay settings for each Neutral Grounding Resistor are
stated as well. provides complete technical assistance
in order to meet your specifications or site conditions.

SPECIFICATION

NEUTRAL GROUNDING RESISTOR

Scope Resistors

This specification covers the design, manufacture and
testing of high-voltage, low-resistance type Neutral
Grounding Resistors (NGR) for installation outdoors onto a
concrete pad or power transformer.
Applicable Standards
The NGR shall be designed, manufactured and tested as per
the latest revisions of IEEE-32.
Enclosures
The frame of the enclosure shall be made from structural
steel angles welded together, or bolted together with
stainless-steel hardware. The top of the enclosure shall be
solid, slightly overhung and sloped.
It shall be embossed with stiffening ribs. The enclosure
shall have forged eyebolts in each corner for lifting
purposes.
The resistive elements shall be low temperature
coefficient, resistor grade stainless steel of sufficient mass
to withstand the rated current and prescribed duty.
The resistors shall be mounted in corrosion resistant
support frames, using stainless-steel hardware.
The entire resistor assembly shall be mounted on
insulators rated for the system voltage.
All resistor terminals and interconnections between
resistor units shall be stainless-steel using stainless- steel
hardware including lock washers. High
current connections shall be spot or TIG welded as
appropriate.
Connections between resistors and bushings or current
transformers shall be solid copper or stainless steel bus or
copper cables.

The bottom of the enclosure shall be screened with

expanded or perforated metal with openings of 1/2" or
less. This screening shall be welded or bolted in and is not
removable. It shall be elevated 4 to 6 inches above the base
of the unit.

Bolt-on side covers on all four sides shall be used. Screened

covers may be furnished for certain applications. Stainless-
steel hardware shall be used. Louvered or screened
openings shall not exceed 1/2".

A durable nameplate, permanently attached to one side

cover shall show the manufacturer and the complete
rating. Painted enclosures shall be suitably cleaned, primed
and painted. Stainless-steel and aluminum enclosures (in
particular) shall be protected from scratching during
manufacture, assembly and shipment.
