High Resistance Grounding Comparison Chart

High Resistance Grounding Comparison Chart – Standard Practices For Industrial Plants
Voltage 600 volts and lower 2.4 to 35 kv	Grounding Method Solid Grounding & High-Resistance Grounding Low Resistance Grounding
NOTE: A recent trend on 600-volt and lower systems has been to use high resistance grounding with all the inherent advantages it has to offer.
