Neutral grounding devices

1.1
This Standard applies to assemblies of resistors, enclosures, and other components that provide high impedance grounding for the purpose of controlling the ground fault current or the voltage to ground of an alternating current system, when installed in accordance with the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
 

1.2
This Standard applies to neutral grounding resistor assemblies rated for use on nominal voltage systems of 72 kV and less.
 

1.3
Neutral grounding resistor assemblies may be of an open type for mounting in other equipment.
 

1.4
Neutral grounding assemblies may contain components and circuits for sensing and signalling.
 

1.5
