High Resistance Grounding
Eaton’s high-resistance grounding solutions allow for continuous operation and increased safety during fault conditions. Provides ground fault detection and control of transient overvoltages during a single-phase to ground fault on an ungrounded system, thus minimizing the possibility of insulation failure in motors, transformers, power cables and electronic equipment.
- Personnel safety and equipment protection
- Service continuity: the ground return current is limited to a low magnitude value that does not require taking the system offline
- Avoidance of large transient overvoltages that can result in restrikes and cause additional ground faults
- Mitigates arc flash events
- Ground fault location easier to find
- Integrated fault tracing for easy detection
- Built-in alarm for advanced warning
- Integrated within switchgear or stand alone
- Custom applications allow for greater flexibility
High-resistance grounding is important in any industry were the continuity of service is critical. Including, but not limited to:
- Industrial
- Oil and Gas
- Petrochemical
- Healthcare
- Utility
