Abstract :
The ground fault is the most common short circuit on an electrical power system. The stability of a power system and its ability to recover from a ground fault is directly related to the neutral grounding method used. A summary is given of the common grounding practices used in paper mills for low and medium voltage systems and the advantages of resistance grounding are described.
