The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 60076-25:2023 applies to dry type natural air-cooled resistors, for neutral grounding of transformers and generators, in order to limit the earth fault current in power systems by means of metallic resistive elements.
For the purposes of this document, the resistor can be:
used alone or in combination with other electrotechnical products not covered by this document, such as (but not limited to): a step-down single-phase transformer, an open triangle or zig-zag transformer (where the neutral point is not available) and a Petersen coil reactor (in order to increase active power contribution to the fault or reduce time constant for proper protection operation or both);
designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardized and manufactured in quantity.
Both terms "neutral grounding resistor" (NGR) and "neutral earthing resistor" (NER) can be used. However, for the purposes of this document and in order to avoid any confusion with "neutral earthing reactor" (NER), the term "neutral grounding resistor" (NGR) is used.
This document specifies:
the characteristics of the NGR;
the service conditions requirements for NGRs;
the tests and test methods for confirming that these conditions have been met;
the requirements relating to marking for NGRs.
Annex A provides guidance on how to consider the effect of resistance variation with temperature.
