Neutral Grounding Resistor: Improve Electrical Safety and Fault Protection
Electrical power systems must remain safe, reliable, and operational even during unexpected faults. One of the most effective ways to minimize damage caused by ground faults is by using a Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR) . It limits fault current, protects valuable equipment, reduces downtime, and enhances overall system stability. At Orion Resistors , we design and manufacture high-performance Neutral Grounding Resistors that meet international quality standards for industrial, commercial, and utility applications. What is a Neutral Grounding Resistor? A Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR) is a specially designed resistor connected between the neutral point of a transformer or generator and earth (ground). Its primary purpose is to limit the magnitude of ground fault current to a safe level without interrupting normal system operation. Unlike solid grounding, which allows very high fault currents, a Neutral Grounding Resistor controls the current flow during a fault, preventing s...
