Why NGR is provided in sub station?

Answer Posted / patni

Generator /Transformer neutral is grounded through resistor, called NGR (Neutral Grounding Resistor)which is used to limit the ground fault current to a safe value in the event of the earth fault. A NGR limits the earth fault current to a value which will be sufficient to operate protective relays and prevent equipment damage by excessive flow of fault current.

In both 600/1000 V cable and 450/750 V cable, we can supply 415 V. However for distribution, all utilities are using only 600/100 V instead of 450/750 V. What is the reason?
