Customer ServiceThrough the analysis, it is considered that mid-point grounding with resistors and capacitors has many benefits, such as better human safety and system protection. A low voltage DC (LVDC) system has higher energy efficiency than an AC system and can minimize power conversion loss caused by the integration of renewable energy sources [ 1, 2, 3 ].
The low current grounding system is divided into a Neutral point Ungrounded System (NUS), a Neutral point via Extinction grounding System (NES), and a Neutral point via Resistance grounding System (NRS).
Although the resistance in mid-point grounding system is 10 times, it can be known that the fault current is not a 0.1 times difference because of the change in the initial fault point voltage according to the resistor in mid-point grounding.
To better effectively protect the single-phase grounding fault in the distribution network system, it is necessary to fully understand the fault status in the system when the fault occurs, so that the selection of the faulty line can be more accurate and reliable.
By using the resistance and capacitor in series, the capacitor discharging current can be reduced when a fault occurs. In this case, the approximate fault current of the capacitor discharge can be obtained using Eq. ( 1 ), as specified in IEC 61660-1. The peak value is expressed using Eq. ( 2) [ 15]
A grounded conductor is bonded to the grounding electrode system at the first disconnecting means. It maintains very low impedance to ground so that a relatively high fault current will flow, thus ensuring that the circuit breakers or fuses will open quickly to minimize damage and reduce the shock hazard to personnel.
