The merits of High Resistance Grounding (HRG), design considerations, and potential safety issues, prior to its application have been well documented in past Electrical Safety Workshops. At the 2008 IEEE Electrical Safety Workshop, a challenge was put forth to discuss current and developing technologies that can resolve some of the potential safety issues. A field survey was conducted and research was performed to identify these issues. This paper discusses each potential safety issue and cross-references it with a current or developing technology to assist the user during the design, operation, and maintenance stages. These advancements in technologies have the ability to resolve the potential safety issues, establishing a safer, smarter HRG system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
