(Main)Power transformers - Part 25: Neutral grounding resistors
Power transformers - Part 25: Neutral grounding resistors
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.
Leistungstransformatoren - Teil 25: Sternpunkt-Erdungswiderstände
Transformateurs de puissance - Partie 25: Résistances de mise à la terre du neutre
L'IEC 60076-25:2023 s'applique aux résistances de type sec refroidies par air naturel pour la mise à la terre (MALT) du neutre des transformateurs et des générateurs dans le but de limiter le courant de défaut à la terre dans les réseaux d'énergie au moyen d'éléments résistifs métalliques. Pour les besoins du présent document, la résistance peut être:
utilisée seule ou avec d'autres produits électrotechniques non couverts par le présent document, notamment: un transformateur abaisseur monophasé, un transformateur en triangle ouvert ou en zigzag (où le point neutre n'est pas disponible) et une bobine Petersen (afin d'augmenter la contribution de la puissance active au défaut et/ou de réduire la constante de temps pour améliorer la protection);
conçue, fabriquée et vérifiée à l'unité ou entièrement normalisée et fabriquée en quantité. En anglais, les deux termes "neutral grounding resistor" (NGR) et "neutral earthing resistor" (NER) peuvent être utilisés pour désigner la résistance de mise à la terre du neutre (MALT). Toutefois, pour les besoins du présent document et afin d'éviter toute confusion avec la "réactance de mise à la terre du neutre" (NER, Neutral Earthing Reactor), le terme "neutral grounding resistor" (NGR) est utilisé. Le présent document spécifie:
les caractéristiques de la MALT;
les exigences de conditions de service des MALT;
les essais et les méthodes d'essai pour confirmer que ces conditions ont été remplies;
les exigences relatives au marquage des MALT. L'Annexe A fournit des recommandations pour prendre en compte l'impact de la température sur la variation de la résistance.
Močnostni transformatorji - 25. del: Upori za ozemljitev ničlišča (IEC 60076-25:2023)
Ta del standarda IEC 60076 se uporablja za naravno zračno hlajene suhe upore za ozemljitev ničlišča
transformatorjev in generatorjev za omejevanje toka zemeljskega stika v napajalnih sistemih z uporabo
kovinsko uporovnih elementov.
V tem dokumentu se lahko upor:
• uporablja samostojno ali v kombinaciji z drugimi elektrotehničnimi izdelki, ki niso zajeti v tem
dokumentu, kot so med drugim: enofazni transformator s transformacijo navzdol, odprti
transformator s trikotno ali cikcak vezavo (kjer nevtralna točka ni na voljo) in reaktor s
Petersenovo dušilko (za povečanje oddajanja delovne moči na stiku ali zmanjšanje časovne konstante
za ustrezno zaščito ali oboje);
• je lahko oblikovan, izdelan in preverjan enkratno ali je v celoti standardiziran in
proizveden v velikih količinah.
Uporabljata se lahko oba izraza »upor za ozemljitev ničlišča« (NGR) in »nevtralni ozemljitveni upor« (NER)
. Vseeno pa se v tem dokumentu zato, da ne bi prišlo do zamenjav z
»nevtralnim ozemljitvenim reaktorjem« (NER), uporablja izraz »upor za ozemljitev ničlišča« (NGR).
Ta dokument določa:
• značilnosti upora za ozemljitev ničlišča;
• zahteve za pogoje delovanja uporov za ozemljitev ničlišča;
• preskuse in preskusne metode za določanje, ali so ti pogoji izpolnjeni;
• zahteve v zvezi z označevanjem uporov za ozemljitev ničlišča.
Dodatek A vsebuje smernice o tem, kako upoštevati učinek spremembe upornosti s
temperaturo.
