Selection of NGR (Neutral Grounding Resistor)

Selection of NGR mainly depends on key factors such as the voltage rating, the time rating and the let-through-current rating. Voltage Rating An NGR must be rated for system line-to-neutral voltage—the voltage across the resistor when a single-phase bolted ground
