How to ground the relay protection of a high-voltage switchgear
The high-resistance grounding (HRG) method consists of inserting a resistor into a three-phase generator, power transformer, or grounding transformer neutral to limit the single line-to-ground fault current to a low value. Fault current is the current that flows in the equipment during a fault or short circuit condition. In HV (High Voltage) and MV (Medium Voltage) substations, relay protection safeguards critical assets such as transformers, circuit breakers, and lines. Effective relay protection depends on. Abstract: Covered in this recommended practice is the protection of bus and switchgear used in industrial and commercial power systems.
