Types of Neutral Grounding in Power Distribution

“Types of Neutral Grounding in Power Distribution” (1 CEU)

1. Introduction

   Limiting ground fault current to reduce arc blast, thermal effects, mechanical stresses, shock hazards, manage system outages, control transient over voltages. Applications in low voltage and medium voltage.

2. Ungrounded Neutral.

3. Solidly Grounded Neutral.

4. Resistance Grounded Neutral.

1. Low Resistance

2. High Resistance

1. Resonant Grounded Neutral.

2. Fault current assessment for each case. High impedance fault. Gross Potential Rise consideration.

3. Potential transfer and associated risks. Arrester selection for each neutral grounding configuration.

4. Upstream effects, utility network.
