A resistance-grounded distribution system has a critical element that is often forgotten -the neutral-grounding resistor (NGR). Because NGR's are subject to failures [1] related to thermal overload, lightning, storms, extended service life, manufacturing faults, vibration, corrosion, and improper specification or installation, the proper monitoring of NGR health is important as all other protections to preserve distribution system in safe state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
