Power system with & without NGR

Power system with & without NGR


The presence or absence of a Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR) in a power system can have significant impacts on system operation, performance, and safety. Here are some of the key differences between a power system with NGR and a power system without NGR:

Power System with NGR:

• Limits ground fault current: NGR limits the amount of ground fault current that flows during a fault, reducing the risk of damage to equipment and personnel.

• System stability: NGR helps to stabilize the system by reducing the likelihood of overvoltage conditions and reducing the risk of resonance and oscillation.

• Power quality: NGR can improve power quality by reducing the likelihood of voltage dips and harmonics.

Power System without NGR:

• Higher ground fault current: In the absence of NGR, the ground fault current is not limited, which can increase the risk of damage to equipment and personnel.

• Lower system stability: Without NGR, the system can be more susceptible to overvoltage conditions, resonance, and oscillation.

• Power quality issues: Without NGR, the system can be more susceptible to voltage dips and harmonics, leading to potential equipment damage.

Overall, the presence or absence of NGR in a power system depends on several factors, including the system design, the equipment being used, and the desired level of protection and performance. While NGR can offer several benefits in terms of system safety, stability, and power quality, it is important to carefully consider the specific needs of each system and consult with qualified professionals when making decisions regarding NGR implementation.

DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) Of Transformer Oil

Image
DGA TEST Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is a diagnostic technique used to assess the condition of the mineral oil in power transformers. It involves analyzing the gases dissolved in the transformer oil to detect any potential faults or abnormalities. The most important parameters to look for in DGA are the concentrations of various gases present in the oil. The key gases and their respective fault indications are as follows: 1. Hydrogen (H2): The presence of hydrogen indicates potential overheating or partial discharges in the transformer. 2. Methane (CH4): Methane is a byproduct of thermal degradation or arcing. Its presence may indicate potential issues with the transformer's insulation. 3. Ethylene (C2H4): Ethylene is an indication of thermal degradation of paper insulation. 4. Acetylene (C2H2): The presence of acetylene is a strong indication of arcing in the transformer. 5. Ethane (C2H6):  Propane (C3H8), and Propylene (C3H6): These gases are produced due to more severe fault...
