 Neutral Grounding Resistors
Avtron Neutral Grounding Resistors are
designed to provide added safety to
industrial distribution systems by limiting
ground fault current to reasonable .--1. --- _ _ __ _
levels. In a typical solidly grounded four
wire system, the neutral is tied directly
to earth ground. This can cause high
ground fault current (typically 10,000 to
20,000 amps) and excessive damage to
transformers, generators, motors,
wiring, and associated equipment.
Inserting an Avtron Neutral Grounding
Resistor between neutral and ground
limits fault current to a safe level
(typically 25 to 400 amps) while still
allowing sufficient current flow to
operate fault clearing relays. Limiting
fault current also reduces the problem
of transient overvoltages (up to six
times normal voltage) which can occur
during arcing type ground faults.
Avtron Neutral Grounding Resistors are
engineered with reliability, safety, and
ease of installation as top priorities. .J

Resistor elements, terminals, support

rods and exterior fasteners are made 1.
from stainless steel for added durability.
Enclosures are manufactured from
corrosion resistant aluminized steel Grounding Resistor rated 2400 volts L-N, 400 amps, 10 seconds, with 200:5 C. T.

 Neutral Grounding Transformers
Avtron Neutral Grounding Resistors can be supplied with open frame construction, for Avtron Neutral Grounding Transformers are

outdoor safety enclosures. Options include: Grounding Resistors and provide high

High Altitude Ratings (above 6000 feet) added safety. The transformer
· Hazardous Location Ratings (Class 1, Group D, Division II) secondary is rated at 240 volts and
factory wired to the resistor. The resistor
is sized so the fault current reflected
through the transformer produces the
desired fault current on the system
neutral (typically 2 to 12 amps for 60
seconds). A voltage relay connected to
the secondary resistor is used to detect
the presence of a ground fault. If the
fault persists beyond a certain time
period, the relay will send a signal to
open the main circuit breaker.
