Impedance grounding systems, including high and low resistance-grounding methods, are critical to modern power system design, offering a balanced approach to safety, equipment protection, and operational continuity. Unlike solidly grounded or ungrounded systems, high resistance grounding (HRG) offers a balanced approach that supports fault detection and allows continued operation during the first ground fault, enabling planned maintenance and increased uptime. Impedance grounding limits ground fault current to a controlled level, reducing damage from arcing faults, minimizing transient overvoltage’s, and enabling continued system operation during single line-to-ground faults. This grounding method is particularly vital in applications with high operational continuity requirements, such as petrochemical, data centers, and process industries. Additionally, compliance with safety standards such as IEEE 3003.1-2019, NEC 250.36 and NFPA 70EThis presentation explores the design, application, and compliance considerations of impedance grounding systems, highlighting their growing importance in mission-critical and high-reliability environments.
