One of the forum member’s posts prompted this weeks question of the week. It is about grounding, more specifically – high and low resistance grounding. (some may use reactance grounding). Rather than having a solidly grounded system or a delta connected system, some will use a grounding resistor to limit the line-to-ground short circuit current that flows during a fault.
This week’s question:
Does your company (or clients) use grounding resistors anywhere in the power distribution system?
No
Hi Resistance Grounding
Low Resistance Grounding
Both Hi and Low
It depends – Many locations/clients
Doesn’t apply to me
