1. GENERAL
This specification is intended to cover the design, manufacture, assembly, testing at
manufacturer's works, supply and delivery of Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR)
complete with all materials and accessories for efficient and trouble-free operation.

2. SCOPE OF WORK
Two (2) Nos, 7.2 kV, 9 ohm, 750 Amps for 10 seconds Neutral Grounding Resistors for 25
MVA Power transformers.

Each Resistor shall be furnished complete with: -

a. Fittings and accessories
b. Auxiliary Equipment
c. All supporting steel work and hardware

All relevant drawings, data and instruction manuals.

3. CODES AND STANDARDS

All equipment and materials shall be designed, manufactured and tested in accordance
with the latest applicable IEC/IS Standard.

4. DESIGN CRITERIA
The Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR) shall be used for non- effective grounding of 11kV
System of the switchyard. The NGRs are inserted between neutral and ground in order to
increase the net resistance in the event of an earth fault and limit the current.

The NGR will be installed outdoor in hot, humid and tropical atmosphere. All equipment,
accessories and wiring shall be provided with tropical finish to prevent fungus growth.
The Resistor unit shall be air-cooled type suitable for installation at outdoor locations.

The resistor enclosure shall be made of sheet steel and shall have minimum thickness
of 2 mm.

5. CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES
The resistor element shall be made of non-aging stainless steel having high electrical
resistivity and low temperature co-efficient of resistant. The resistor unit shall consist of
a number of elements. All the elements shall be mounted inside the cubicle so as to ensure
ease of inspection and replacement of individual element.

Each Resistor element shall possess a balanced combination of both Mechanical and
Electrical properties over the entire intended operating temperature range without any
harmful effect on the elements and their accessories.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

All the resistor elements constituting the NGR shall be assembled and supported inside
the cubicle in such a way that no distortion or breakage will occur during the passage of
through fault current to earth.

All element connections shall be bolted type to ensure stable resistance value
throughout the working life of the unit.

Wet process type brown glaze porcelain insulators shall be used for supporting
resistor elements.

The NGR will be installed outdoor in hot, humid and tropical atmosphere. All equipment,
accessories and wiring shall be provided with tropical finish to prevent fungus growth.
The Resistor unit shall be air-cooled type suitable for installation at outdoor locations.

5.1 Enclosure
Each neutral grounding resistor shall have structural work enclosed on all sides and also
on top by sheet steel. Suitable ventilating louvers shall be provided on sides to ensure
proper ventilation.

Each enclosure shall be of self-supporting, weather proof type suitable for outdoor
mounting having a protection class.

Each cubicle shall be completed with a front access door with handles, lock and also a
removable bolted cover. All doors and removable covers shall be properly gasketed with
neoprene rubber gaskets. All cubicle door hinges shall be of concealed type.

Each cubicle shall be completed with a suitably mounted cable end box fitted with
removable gland plate for fixing cable gland. The cable size shall be as indicated in the
annexure. Double compression cable glands and tinned coper lugs shall be provided.

5.2 Cubicle lamp and sockets

Each cubicle shall be provided with 5A, 3 pin plug socket and door-switch controlled
cubicle illumination lamp.

5.3 Wiring
All internal wiring between equipment and terminal block shall be carried out by
PVC insulated 650 V grade 2.5 Sq.mm Stranded copper conductor wires.

5.4 Grounding
All parts of enclosure, supporting structures, equipment frames etc. shall be properly
grounded at two points.

Each cubicle shall be completed with two (2) nos. ground pads, tapped holes and bolts
suitable for connection of 75 x 8 mm galvanised steel flats.

5.5 Painting
All surfaces shall be sand blasted, pickled and grounded as required to produce a smooth,
clean surface free of scale, grease & rust. After cleaning, the surfaces shall be given a
phosphate coating followed by 2 coats of high quality primer and stove after each coat.

5.6 Auxiliary Equipment-Current Transformer

Neutral bushing current transformers shall be furnished when specified in the datasheet.

Current transformer shall be mounted inside the cable box with removable arrangement.
CT secondary leads shall be wired up to the terminal blocks.

6. TESTS
6.1 Routine Tests
Each equipment shall be completely assembled, wired, adjusted and routine tested as per
relevant standards at manufacturer's works. The tests shall include:
 Resistance measurement
 Voltage measurement
 Insulation resistance measurement
 Dielectric test

6.2 Type Test

Temperature test (on one unit of each rating)

7. SPECIAL TOOLS & TACKLES

A set of special tools & tackle which are necessary or convenient for erection,
commissioning, maintenance and overhauling of the equipment shall be supplied.
