Home / Function of the grounding wire in a relay protection device
Low resistance grounding of the neutral limits the ground fault current to a high level (typically 50 amps or more] in order to operate protective fault clearing relays and current transformers. These devices are then able to quickly clear the fault, usually within a few seconds. Ungrounded: There is no intentional ground applied to the system-however it's grounded through natural capacitance. While ground-fault protective schemes may be elaborately developed, depending on the ingenuity of the relaying engineer, nearly all schemes in common practice are based on one or more of the methods of ground-fault detection discussed in this article. Graduated with a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas at Dallas in 2018 and with a Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from VIT University, Vellore, TN, India in 2016. "Equipment grounding" means the connection of earth ground to non current carrying conductive materials such as conduit, cable trays, junction boxes, enclosures and motor frames.
High-resistance grounding helps insure a ground-fault current of known magnitude, helpful for relaying purposes. This makes it possible to identify the faulted feeder with sensitive ground-fault relays.
