110KV NER Neutral Earth Resistor

Neutral Earthing Resistors, NER, used to limit the fault current for safety of equipment, up to 110KV

Neutral Earthing Resistors (NERs) – sometimes called Neutral Grounding Resistors (NGRs) – are employed in AC distribution networks to limit the current that would flow through the neutral point of a transformer or generator in the event of an earth fault.

NERs limit fault currents to a value that does not cause any further damage to switchgear, generators or transformers beyond what has already been caused by the fault itself, and in some cases limit touch and step potentials to safer values than a solidly grounded systems. In addition, consideration is given to operation of protection relays within the required time.
