Sudden ground faults in power systems can have serious consequences, ranging from equipment tripping and shutdown to serious losses such as burning out core components and causing safety incidents. This threat persists as long as the power system operates normally. When the neutral points of distribution networks, substations, and industrial plants lack reliable protection, the instantaneous surge of current generated by a single-phase ground fault acts like an invisible bomb, not only damaging critical equipment like transformers and cables but also potentially causing prolonged power outages, disrupting production and significantly reducing profitability.

With a reliable Neutral Grounding Resistor in place, these risks can be significantly reduced and effectively contained. The Neutral Grounding Resistance (NGR) cabinet serves not as an ordinary protection device, but as the “security guardian” of the power network, providing the following key functions:

1. Rapid fault current suppression
   Equipped with high-precision, high-capacity resistor elements, the NGR cabinet limits ground-fault current to a safe level within milliseconds, preventing damage caused by high current surges and greatly reducing maintenance costs.

2. Accurate fault location support
   When integrated with intelligent monitoring modules, the NGR cabinet provides real-time ground-fault information, enabling operators to quickly identify fault points, shorten outage duration, and minimize production losses.

3. Flexible adaptation to diverse applications
   Designed for 6kV, 10kV, and 35kV distribution networks, as well as renewable power plants, data centers, photovoltaic installations, chemical facilities, and other industrial environments. Custom configurations ensure flexible installation and stable operation based on system requirements.

4. Long-term durability with low maintenance
   Constructed with cold-rolled steel or premium stainless-steel enclosures and high-temperature-resistant resistor elements, the NGR cabinet offers excellent corrosion and aging resistance, ensuring reliable performance even under harsh environmental conditions while reducing operation and maintenance burden.

NGR systems safeguard power continuity, extend asset lifetime, reduce safety risks, and enhance productivity. Reliable neutral grounding is the foundation of a safe and efficient power network.
