Neutral-earthing reactors or Neutral grounding reactors are connected between the neutral of a power system and earth to limit the line-to-earth current to a desired value under system earth fault conditions.

What is neutral grounding resistor panel?
A neutral grounding resistor panel is used to resist fault current to the ground. It is used for alternator protection protection purposes. When a fault occurs in the alternator, the panel helps force the current to the ground.
What is the role of a neutral wire?
The real purpose of neutral is grounding. In order for electricity to flow you need a direct continuous link from the supply to a ground. Without the neutral electricity wouldn't be able to flow because it wouldn't have a ground (a place to go). The real name for neutral is the grounded conductor, and what is commonly referred to as ground is really the grounding conductor. The grounding conductor exists for the sole purpose of being a back up neutral in case something happens, this way you don't BECOME the ground if you touch it. But don't think that means you can go touching wires if you don't know what your doing cause you can still get hurt even with both grounded and grounding hooked up.
What is a Grounded conductor?
The grounded conductor (Neutral) can be white or gray. The grounding conductor can be solid green, Green with a yellow tracer or bare copper.
What is the reason why the neutral is not used on high resistance grounding?
The question doesn't provide enough detail to give a definitive answer. The neutral PD is often used in protective functions on high resistance grounded generators (when grounded through a transformer). High resistance grounding limits the use of transformers - you must be using balanced loads, since very little current will flow (typically around 5-20amperes max) to the neutral. Because of this, phase to neutral values (such as voltage) are meaningless. Any current flowing in the neutral will cause an offset in all three phases from neutral. Since the neutral is high resistance grounded, it does not take a significant amount of current to cause significant offset.
Do you need a grounding rod at a subpanel on a detached building?
Yes. The panel must be grounded with its own grounding rod. The ground will not be provided with the feeders to the panel, these will only contain your phase wires and neutral. Also make sure that any subpanel installed does not have the neutral bonded to ground. This should only be done at the main panel where the electrical utility service is connected.
Why and how is reactance grounding done?
Reactance grounding is done to lower ground fault current amounts, often to protect generators. It's done by tying the neutral of a generator to a grounding reactor (the other side of the reactor is tied to ground).
What is difference between neutral grounding reactor and neutral grounding resistor?
They both reduce earth fault levels by inserting impedance in the return path. A reactor is used when the earth fault level wanted is greater than about 25% of the phase fault current. This limit is due to over voltages experienced in arcing faults, the higher the reactor impedance the higher the potential overvoltage. With resistors lower fault levels are possible, but as the resistor has to dissipate all energy it will generally be more expensive and larger than a reactor.
Where is the neutral wire on a nema 6 20r connector?
The NEMA 6-20R is a 2 pole 3 wire grounding receptacle that is rated for 250 volts. It is not meant to have a neutral wire connected to it. The receptacle is designed to have 240 volts connected to it.
What is the process of bringing a negatively charged conductor in contact with the earth resulting in the conductor discharge until it is completely neutral called?

Why do you keep the Ph of moderator neutral in pressurized heavy water reactor?
This is done in order to limit corrosion of the internal reactor components
How to correct floating voltages in system neutral?
Floating means there's no reference to ground, so to fix this you supply a reference to ground (be it corner grounding, solidly grounding, high resistance grounding, etc.)
What is neutral grounding resistor panel?
A neutral grounding resistor panel is used to resist fault current to the ground. It is used for alternator protection protection purposes. When a fault occurs in the alternator, the panel helps force the current to the ground.
Where you have select unearthed cable?
Earthed cables shall be used wherever the syem Neutral grounding Solidly. Vise versa-Un earthed cable shall be used wherever the syem Neutral grounding through NER or Reactance.
Why neutral of generator is resistance grounded and neutral of motor is reactance grounded?
You can use resistance or reactance grounding on generators and motors. My understanding is resistance grounding is often used to limit ground fault currents to a few amperes, while reactance grounding will limit fault current to less than the three phase fault current. If reactance grounding is used to limit fault current o very little (like resistance grounding), transient overvoltage problems can occur.
What is neutral earthing?
Neutral earthing are grounding options available for both low and medium voltage power systems. It provides point of zero volts.
