When wiring a new electrical circuit, you need to link the power source in your home to the devices that use electric current. This allows electricity to safely flow throughout your home that allows devices like light fixtures and electric appliances to run properly. One way to accomplish this is with a neutral grounding resistor. For those of you who are not familiar with the term, a grounding resistor is an important device that workers in lavt panel, high-voltage electrical and electronics industry use when working on Electrical Panels that may have been energized and could shock an individual. Although it sounds intimidating, having the right grounding resistor is essential to maintaining safety around electricity.
Grounding
resistor is an essential part of every piece of home electrical equipment,
especially if that equipment can be used outdoors. Grounding resistors are
connected between a system’s circuit and the Earth ground. It provides
protection from electric shock and reduces the chances of broken current
returning to a user or an operator. So if you have installed any electrical
equipment at your home, there are some good chances that grounding resistor has
been installed in it.
A
neutral grounding resistor is a device that helps stabilize the voltage going
to an electronic device plugged into an outlet. It does this by making sure
that any fluctuations in the line voltage do not affect the plug or the device
plugged into it. If a fluctuation could potentially damage the element of the
device, then the neutral grounding resistor would protect this from happening.
A neutral grounding resistor (NGR) is a secondary, ground-based circuit that
protects against high electrical shock. This type of device is installed behind
the socket into which an electric cord is plugged. Although its primary
function is to be a safety backup for surge suppression, it also has excellent
surge absorption capabilities.
