Neutral-Grounding-Resistor Monitoring
SE-325 SERIES (PGM-8325)
Neutral-Grounding-Resistor Monitor
Description
The SE-325 Neutral-Grounding-Resistor Monitor is used on
resistance-grounded systems up to 25 kV to monitor the
integrity of the neutral-to-ground path and to detect ground
faults. It measures current and voltage in a transformer or
generator neutral-to-ground connection and continuity of the
neutral-grounding resistor (NGR). The SE-325 coordinates
these three measurements to detect a loose connection,
corrosion, ground fault, or NGR failure, and provides one alarm
or trip output contact.

BENEFITS
Detects resistor failure within seconds, reduces
transient-overvoltage risk, removes risk of ground-
fault-detection failure
Main or backup protection to detect a ground
fault anywhere on the monitored system
Select greatest sensitivity without
false operation
Adjustable trip delay allows system coordination
Form A output contact
Selectable fail-safe or non-fail-safe operating
modes allows connection to shunt or undervoltage
breaker coil or alarm system
