Neutral Earthing Resistors (NERs) are used to limit the fault current for safety of equipment and personnel in industrial systems.

​

In solid grounding, the system is directly grounded and the fault current is limited only by the soil resistance. The fault current can be very high and can damage the transformers, generators, motors, wiring and other equipment in the system. The NERs are inserted between neutral and ground in order to increase the net resistance in the event of an earth fault and limit the current to a safe level.

RC Snubber Filters consist of a capacitor and resistor connected in series across a switch which is controlling an inductive load.

​

For reactive power compensation, and mainly for voltage regulation purposes, shunt reactors are used at different voltage levels in the electric utility. During the turn-off action of the breaker or contactor of a shunt reactor, huge over-voltages are created due to the sudden interrupt of an inductive current. In order to prevent any damage to system equipment, voltage clampers, so called RC snubber filters are used in parallel with shunt reactors. They clamp the voltage overshoot due to the current interruption and damp out the oscillations safely.

Stator Connected Resistors
Motor Starting Resistors are used to reduce the voltage at the motor terminals and also decrease the starting current. Motor Starting Resistors are necessary because the self resistance of a motor armature is very low. When the voltage is first applied, excessive current will flow. For limiting this current, since there will be no resisting back electromotive force (emf),some series resistance can be added to the armature windings.

​
Rotor Connected Resistors
Rotor connected resistors are mainly used for the motor starting applications requiring high-starting torque like loaded belt conveyors in mining industry. By external resistors, it is possible to shift the motor maximum (break-down) torque up to starting torque point for motors under heavy loads during start-up. The resistors are splitted into some steps and controlled via contactors by motor starting control system. As the motor speed increases, the external rotor resistors are eliminated by shorting contactors until all external resistors are shorted out.
