The scope of this document is to provide the basic factors and general considerations in selecting the class and means of neutral grounding for synchronous generator systems connected to electrical utility systems. It also provides the suggested methods and apparatus to be used to achieve the desired grounding. These guidelines apply to both large and small generators found in electrical utility systems. Definitions of grounding terms used in this the guide can be found in IEEE Std C62.92.1.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide the user with insight on the basic factors and general considerations in selecting the class and means of neutral grounding for synchronous generator systems connected to electrical utility systems. It also provides guidance on the selection of particular methods and apparatus to be used to achieve the desired neutral grounding. It is intended that this document serve only as a guide. Statements are necessarily of a general nature and therefore do not take into account the requirements of special situations that can differ considerably from those discussed.
Abstract
Revision Standard - Active.The basic factors and general considerations in selecting the class and means of neutral grounding for synchronous generator systems connected to electrical utility systems are provided in this guide. It also provides the suggested methods and apparatus to be used to achieve the desired grounding. These guidelines apply to both large and small generators found in electrical utility systems. Definitions of grounding terms used in this the guide can be found in IEEE Std C62.92.1(TM)-2000.
