  1. Electrical Grounding Using Effective, Solid, and Low-impedance …

    • The best method to control overvoltages is effective, or solid, grounding. This method supplies phase-to-neutral connected loads without the risk of finding dangerous neutral-to-ground voltages when a gr… See more

    Low-reactance Grounding

    Low-reactance grounding is done by connecting the neutrals to the ground through a reactor, making it different from solid. The degree of grounding depends on the networ… See more

    Grounding the system neutral through an impedance reduces overvoltages caused by intermittent faults. Typically, the impedance is mainly resistive and limits the magnitude of the ground-fault current.

    “Grounding” may be described as the process of making this electrical connection to the general mass of the earth. The characteristic primarily determining the effectiveness of a grounding system is the impedance this connection provides to the earth.
