High-Resistance Grounding and Ground Fault Protection
As Power Reliability and Arc Flash Hazards become more prevalent in the next decade and beyond, High Resistance Grounding (HRG) systems have become the grounding system of choice by many professionals. Once only used in Industrial applications, HRG systems have flourished in other markets, such as commercial and institutional. However, they are not perfect systems. This presentation will discuss why HRG systems were first developed and how modern relays are helping an almost 50 year old practice solve today’s challenges
