About

Mining uses resistance grounding for many power distribution applications. Power circuits used in extraction must trip in the presence of a ground fault. This is different than other high resistance grounding offerings, but they provide a degree of safety. 

 

Join us for a webinar as we discuss some of the global code requirements and best practices.  


Key Topics Covered

  • Ground Faults on portable loads
  • Transfer of potential
  • Touch potential
  • Grounding resistors and safety grounds
  • Monitoring resistors
    • Codes and best practices
  • Ground conductor monitoring
  • Applications:
    • NGRM installations and RC48C ground-check relays
    • Interesting application in Mexico – Centinela
