what is neutral grounding? why is it required? what is
neutral grounding resistor and how is its value calculated??

Answer Posted / sophia

neutral grounding or earthing is connecting the neutral point to ground.
Advantages of Neutral Earthing:-
 Connecting the neutral of an electrical system to earth has following
advantages.
 Arcing grounds are eliminated.
 Voltage of healthy phases with respect to earth does not rise √3 times to
normal value.
 Insulation is prevented from stress of high surge voltage and hence
provides long life to insulation & equipment.
 Stable neutral point.
 Earth fault relay function becomes simple & reliable.
 Greater safety to personnel & equip
neutral grounding resistor is the resistor through which neutral is grounded.

1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends
