LZR-Series Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR)
Low Resistance Grounding System

Low Impedance Grounding Equipment for Detecting Ground Fault Current of a Medium Voltage Generator or Transformer Neutral

SAFE RELIABLE EFFECTIVE GROUNDING

APT’s low impedance grounding Neutral Grounding Resistor and Reactor will reduce the stress and amount of damage to your power system equipment. They do this by controlling the magnitude of the ground fault currents.

When used in generator neutral, these devices will also limit the amount of the generator available Line to Neutral fault current below the design limits set by the NEMA MG1 generators design standard.
Additionally, APT Neutral Grounding Resistors and Reactors will reduce the magnitude of the harmonic currents. This circulates in the neutrals of paralleled generators due to the differences in the generator winding pitches, armature reaction, and other system conditions.

APT Neutral Grounding Resistors help switchgear sense that there is current in neutral/ground. The NGR’s help dissipate that current.
