Answer / vijay kumar
NGR(Neutral Ground Resistor) which is connected at the star
point of an alternator or a tranformer..
There two consideration to Select NGR
1) Plant capacity
2) Current carrieng capacity
If any unbalance current occures in any of the phases
that surplus current will alowed to flow through the NGR,
where in Neutral current will suuprssed so that alternator
winding will be in safe,

Answer / mahesh sali
NGR is neutral grounding resistor , The function of NGR is
to protect the equipments against the earth fault , help to
limit the fault current to earth.Its also give the
additional purpose to maintain the balance current in all
three phases with w.r.t neutral .
generally the NGR earthing used upto the 11kv , Ac sply.

Answer / subhakant / bhajahari
NGR MEANS NEUTRAL GROUNDING WITH RESISTANCE. THE PURPOSE OF
USING NGR FOR NEUTRAL GROUNDING IS TO LIMIT THE FAULT
CURRENT WITHIN THE OPERATING RANGE OF PROTECTING EQUIPMENTS
AND ALSO TO SENSE THE SYSTEM UNBALANCE CURRENT

Answer / sandeep pareek
N.G.R. USE TO ALTERNATOR WINDING PROTECTON WHEN ANY FAUL
OCCURE IN ALTERNATOR N.G.R PROTECT TO ALTERNATOR
WE ARE USE C.T. IN N.G.R. PANEL .. ALTERNATO OUTPUT PHASE
CONNECTION IN STAR THEN FAULT CONDITION EXTRA CURRENT
GROUND AND OUR ALTERNATOR ALSO SAFE

Answer / dibyaranjan pati
NGRs are employed in AC Distribution Networks.It limits the
Restricted Earth Current to a safe value which flows from
the Transformer or Generator star point when an earth fault
occurs in the system without exceeding specified temperature
limits.
Theses are connected between the neutral point of
transformer or generator & the earth.

Answer / abhishek anshu
Main purpose of NGR is :
1. To protect equipment from earth fault.
2. To ground excessive leakage current.

Answer / pps
NGR means neutral ground reactor. Normally it is used in
Generation stations and long line shunt reactors. Main
purpose is to limit fault current when earth faults. and
also it acts as a phase winding when one of the reactor
winding or generetor winding or phese in lines open or
grounded.

NGR (Neutral Grounding Resistors )is employed in AC
distribution networks to limit the fault current which
would flow from the transformer or generator neutral star
point in the event of an earth fault in the systems. It is
used when the neutral of supply transformer is accessible
and its own impedance is not enough to limit fault current.
The rating of the protection relays within the required
time.
For Grounding Neutral of Transformer or Generator,
Resistors upto 33 KV are offered for fault of short
duration like 10 sec., 30 sec., 60 sec., continuous etc.

NGR means nutral ground gearthing. the maine purpose of
this equipment is that when ever fault occur in the
generator or transformer then it limt the fault current for
prevention from any major accident or flow any inbalance
current in normal condition. It always connect with star
point of generator or transformer.

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir
11KW Delta motor is taking about 44Amps in star and goes upto 70Amps in delta and trips OFF. The rated current is 26Amps. Application is for the blower. The motor takes ( no load without coupling impller ) only 2.5A and 5Amps in star & delta starter test.Need to know why its taking high current.

Can u explain : what is supply for train (whether a,c or d.c ).I know that supply is 25000v a.c .But there is rumour that supply is D.C. And also explain how lights and fans inside the trains are working ,and what type of motors are used in trains whether D.C motors or induction motors .If d.c motor, how it gets supply.If traction motors are used then what are traction motors and its functions and how it differs from other motors and also explain about locomotive . y d.c series motor in train.train wheels r driven by D.C shunt motor ,at what voltage,and at what speed. please reply..............
