Abstract

Historically speaking, high resistance ground has been used to prevent system shutdown of important processes. A more recent adoption of the technology has focused on system safety and arc flash reduction. This presentation will take a deep dive to look into both of these and why high resistance grounding is the most efficient approach to both reliability and safety in today’s electrical environment.
