Two Night Seminar Covering Grounding for Electrical Power Systems – Low Resistance and High Resistance System Design.
This course is geared towards practicing electrical, control and instrument engineers who perform engineering on facilities within the process industries.
Abstract:
Grounding for Electrical Power Systems – Low Resistance and High Resistance System Design.
Abstract: Impedance grounding systems, including high and low resistance-grounding methods, are critical to modern power system design, offering a balanced approach to safety, equipment protection, and operational continuity. Unlike solidly grounded or ungrounded systems, high resistance grounding (HRG) offers a balanced approach that supports fault detection and allows continued operation during the first ground fault, enabling planned maintenance and increased uptime. Impedance grounding limits ground fault current to a controlled level, reducing damage from arcing faults, minimizing transient overvoltage’s, and enabling continued system operation during single line-to-ground faults. This grounding method is particularly vital in applications with high operational continuity requirements, such as petrochemical, data centers, and process industries
