1. GENERAL
1.1 MODERN RESISTANCE-GROUNDED SYSTEMS
A high-resistance-grounded system uses a neutralgrounding resistor (NGR) with a low let-through current
to limit ground-fault current. This is an improvement
over low-resistance- or solidly grounded systems because,
in those systems, a ground-fault flash hazard exists and a
ground fault can result in substantial point-of-fault
damage. High-resistance grounding eliminates these
problems and modern ground-fault protection operates
reliably at these levels. Furthermore, the probability of an
arc-flash incident is significantly reduced in a highresistance-grounded system.
NGR selection depends on system charging current and
whether the system is an alarm-only or a tripping system.
Alarm-only systems are usually restricted to system
voltages up to 5 kV with NGR let-through currents of 5 A
or less. Occasionally, alarm-only systems up to 15 kV
and up to 10 A are used; however, they are not common
because a ground fault on such a system tends to escalate
to a phase-to-phase fault before the ground fault can be
located and cleared.
System charging current is the capacitive current that
flows to ground when a bolted ground fault occurs. This
current can be calculated or measured. For small systems,
the magnitude of charging current can be conservatively
estimated as ½ A per 1,000 kVA on low-voltage systems
and 1 A per 1,000 kVA on medium-voltage systems.
In an alarm-only system or in a tripping system without
selective coordination, choose an NGR with a let-through
current larger than the system charging current and set
the pick-up current of ground-fault devices at or below
50% of the NGR let-through current.
In a tripping system with selective coordination, use
ground-fault devices with a definite-time characteristic to
achieve time coordination. Use the same pick-up current
for all ground-fault devices—this value must be larger
than the charging current of the largest feeder. Select an
NGR with a let-through current between five and ten
times the pick-up current of the ground-fault devices.
Do not use a grounding transformer with a low-voltage
resistor:
 The combined cost of a transformer and a lowvoltage resistor is more than the cost of a resistor
rated for line-to-neutral voltage.
 A transformer saturated by a ground fault through a
rectifier can make ground-fault protection
inoperative.
 Transformer inrush current up to twelve times rated
current can cause a ground-fault voltage larger than
expected.
 A parallel transformer winding makes it difficult to
monitor NGR continuity.
 A transformer can provide the inductance necessary
to cause ferroresonance if the NGR opens.
Page 1
Rev. 13-D-070615
Following these guidelines will reduce the flash
hazard, reduce point-of-fault damage, achieve reliable
ground-fault protection, and ensure a stable system not
subject to ferroresonance.
1.2 SE-325 NGR MONITORING
The SE-325 is a neutral-grounding-resistor monitor for
resistance-grounded systems up to 25 kVac. It measures
current in a transformer or generator neutral, neutral-toground voltage, and continuity of the neutral-grounding
resistor. The SE-325 coordinates these three measurements
to detect a failed NGR or a ground fault and provides one
output contact for shunt or undervoltage operation in a
main-breaker trip circuit. Trips are latched and indicated by
LED’s.
Ground-fault current is sensed by a CT200 window-type
current transformer. Either CT input can be grounded to
meet electrical codes. A trip level of 0.5, 2.0, or 4.0 A is
switch selectable for use with a 5-, 15-, or 25-A grounding
resistor. Trip time is adjustable from 0.1 to 2.0 seconds.
Neutral-to-ground voltage and continuity of the neutralgrounding resistor are continuously measured through an
ER-series external sensing resistor connected to the neutral.
A resistor fault will be detected if ground-fault current is not
detected and neutral-to-ground voltage exceeds the trip-level
setting, or if NGR resistance exceeds the trip resistance. A
resistor-fault hold-off circuit prevents nuisance trips in
alarm-only systems.
For additional information on neutral-grounding-resistor
monitoring, see “Monitoring Neutral-Grounding Resistors –
An Update” at www.littelfuse.com/relayscontrols.
2. OPERATION
2.1 SETTINGS
2.1.1 GF TRIP TIME
Ground-fault trip time is adjustable from 0.1 to 2.0
seconds. Time-coordinated ground-fault protection requires
this setting to be longer than the trip times of downstream
ground-fault devices.
For the extended ground-fault trip-time option
(Option T), trip time is adjustable from 0.1 to 5.0 seconds.
2.1.2 GF
The ground-fault-circuit trip level is 0.5, 2.0, or 4.0 A
when current is sensed with a CT200 current transformer.
These levels are appropriate for use with 5-, 15-, or 25-A
grounding resistors, when a ground-fault trip level less than
20% of the grounding resistor let through current is desired.
See Table 1. For other applications, the trip level of the
ground-fault circuit is 0.25, 1.0, or 2.0% of the primary
rating of the 5-A-secondary current transformer.

2.1.3 MODE
In the shunt-trip mode (SH), the output relay energizes
and its contact closes if a resistor-fault or ground-fault trip
occurs. The shunt-trip mode is not fail-safe because shunttrip devices do not operate if supply voltage fails.
In the undervoltage mode (UV), the output relay
energizes and its contact closes if the resistor-fault and
ground-fault circuits are not tripped. The undervoltage
mode is referred to as fail-safe because undervoltage devices
release if supply voltage fails.
2.1.4 RES
This switch setting must correspond to the resistance of
the external sensing resistor. For the ER-600VC and
ER-5KV, select 20K. For the ER-15KV and ER-25KV,
select 100K.
2.2 INDICATION AND RESET
The blue POWER LED indicates that the internal power
supply is on. Red LED’s indicate ground-fault and resistorfault trips. When a trip occurs, the SE-325 remains latched
until Reset is pressed or supply voltage is cycled. Terminals
are provided for remote indication and reset as shown in
Fig. 1.
For the non-latching option (Option N), the SE-325 resets
when the fault clears.
2.3 FUSING
The output contact is protected by fuse F1 (4.0 A, time
delay).
2.1.5 RES TRIP LEVEL
Neutral-to-ground trip voltage is adjustable from 20 to
400 Vac with a 20-k sensing resistor, and 100 to
2,000 Vac with a 100-k sensing resistor. To prevent false
resistor-fault trips, the RES TRIP LEVEL should be set
higher than the voltage across the neutral-grounding resistor
when neutral-to-ground current is equal to the operating
value of the ground-fault circuit. Typical values for 5-, 15-,
and 25-A tripping systems are shown in Table 1. For other
systems, refer to the NGR Monitor Set-Point Assistant at
www.littelfuse.com/relayscontrols.

3.3 SENSING RESISTOR
Outline and mounting details for ER-600VC, ER-5KV,
ER-15KV, and ER-25KV sensing resistors are shown in
Figs. 4, 7, 9, and 10. Locate the NGR and the sensing
resistor near the transformer or generator. When located
outdoors, a sensing resistor must be installed in a suitable
enclosure. An optional SE-MRE-600 Moisture Resistant
Enclosure is available for applications which may expose
an ER-600VC to moisture. See Figs. 5 and 6. The
ER-5WP (shown in Fig. 8) is an ER-5KV with moistureresistant terminal covers. The ER-15KV and ER-25KV
include moisture resistant terminal covers. Use suitable
water-tight fittings. Ground sensing-resistor terminal G.
Pass the sensing-resistor-to-neutral conductor and the
NGR-to-neutral conductor through the ground-fault-CT
window as shown in Fig. 1.
Separately connect sensing-resistor terminal N and the
NGR to the neutral to include neutral connections in the
monitored loop. If a ground fault in the sensing-resistor
conductor is unlikely, a minimal loss of protection will
result if it does not pass through the ground-fault-CT
window.
CAUTION: Voltage at terminal N rises to line-to-neutral
voltage when a ground fault occurs. The same clearances
are required for sensing resistors as for NGR’s.
NOTE: The neutral-to-sensing-resistor connection is not
a neutral conductor as defined in Canadian Electrical
Code Section 10-1108 and National Electrical Code
Section 250.36(B). It is not required to be 8 AWG
(8.36 mm2) or larger. Since current through this
conductor is always less than 150 mA, a 14 AWG
(2.08 mm2) conductor insulated to the system voltage is
sufficient.

FIGURE 14. RK-13 Relay Interface Module.
SE-325 Neutral-Grounding-Resistor Monitor
3.4 ISOLATED-GROUND CONNECTION
The SE-325 is intended for use in installations where the
NGR is connected to local ground. Some installations
require the NGR to be isolated from local ground. See
Technical Note RG-1 “NGR Monitoring with Isolated
Ground Beds” at www.littelfuse.com/relayscontrols.
3.5 OVERHEAD LINES
In overhead-line applications, atmospheric conditions can
cause false resistor-fault trips. The “S” option or an SE-330
NGR Monitor is recommended for these applications.
3.6 REMOTE OPERATION
Terminals SW, GI, +, and RI are provided for remote
LED indication and remote reset as shown in Fig. 1.
Remote LED’s are driven in series with the front-panel
LED’s.
Remove factory-installed jumpers from terminals GI, +,
and RI, and connect a remote kit as shown in Fig. 1.
Optional remote kits are shown in Figs. 11, 12, and 13.
Standard LED indicator lamps are not compatible with the
SE-325.
For general-purpose applications, use the RK-325 Remote
Indication-and-Reset Assembly or the RK-325I Remote
Indication Assembly. Connect terminals SW, GI, +, and RI
to remote-kit terminals SW, GI, +, and CI/RI.
For 22-mm-component applications, use the RK-302
Remote Indication and Reset Kit. Connect terminal X2 of
the red ground-fault indicator to GI, terminal X2 of the red
resistor-fault indicator to RI, and connect indicator X1
terminals to +. For remote reset, connect the normally open
push-button switch across terminals + and SW.
If indication is required from a separate voltage source, or
if separate ground-fault and resistor-fault contacts are
required, use an RK-13 Relay Interface Module. The
RK-13 mounts on the SE-325 lower terminal block and it is
compatible with the RK-302, RK-325 and RK-325I. See
Figs. 1 and 14. Contact K1 closes when the Ground-Fault
LED is on and contact K2 closes when the Resistor-Fault
LED is on.
3.7 GROUND-FAULT TESTING
Use CT-primary current injection to test the ground-fault
circuit. Fig. 15 shows test circuits using the SE-400
Ground-Fault-Relay Test Unit and the SE-100T GroundFault-Relay Tester. The SE-400 has a programmable output
of 0.5 to 9.9 A for a duration of 0.1 to 9.9 seconds. The
SE-100T has LO and HI outputs for 5- and 15-A resistancegrounded systems.
A test-record form is provided in Section 7 of this
manual. Record the test results and test dates on this form to
meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code
(NEC). Retain the form so that the test data can be made
available to the authority having jurisdiction.

7. TEST PROCEDURES
7.1 GROUND-FAULT PERFORMANCE TEST
To meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code (NEC), as applicable, the overall ground-fault
protection system requires a performance test when first
installed. A written record of the performance test is to
be retained by those in charge of the electrical installation
in order to make it available to the authority having
jurisdiction. A test-record form is provided for recording
the date and the final results of the performance tests.
The following ground-fault system tests are to be
conducted by qualified personnel:
a) USING SE-400
CT200
GROUND-FAULT CT
NEUTRAL
GROUNDING
RESISTOR
CT2
CT1
N
d) Verify proper reaction of the circuit-interrupting
device in response to a simulated or controlled
ground-fault current.
To simulate ground-fault
current, use CT-primary current injection. Fig. 15a
shows a test circuit using an SE-400 Ground-FaultRelay Test Unit. The SE-400 has a programmable
output of 0.5 to 9.9 A for a duration of 0.1 to 9.9
seconds. Set the test current to 0.6, 2.3, or 4.6 A for
SE-325 units set at 0.5, 2.0, or 4.0 A respectively.
Fig. 15b shows a test circuit using an SE-100T
Ground-Fault-Relay Tester. The SE-100T provides a
test current of 0.65 or 2.75 A for testing 0.5- and 2.0A trip levels. Inject the test current through the
current-transformer window for at least 2.5 seconds.
Verify that the circuit under test has reacted properly.
Correct any problems and re-test until the proper
reaction is verified.

c) Verify that the system is correctly grounded and that
alternate ground paths do not exist that bypass the
current transformer.
High-voltage testers and
resistance bridges can be used to determine the
existence of alternate ground paths.

a) Evaluate the interconnected system in accordance with
the overall equipment manufacturer’s detailed
instructions.
b) Verify proper location of the ground-fault current
transformer. Ensure the cables pass through the
ground-fault-current-transformer window. This check
can be done visually with knowledge of the circuit.
The connection of the current-transformer secondary
to the SE-325 is not polarity sensitive.

7.2 RESISTOR-FAULT TESTS
Perform tests with system de-energized and supply
voltage applied to the SE-325.
7.2.1 OPEN TEST
Test Equipment: 20-k and 100-k, ¼-watt, 1% resistors
(included with SE-325).
Procedure:
 Remove connections to SE-325 R and G terminals.
 Connect the 20-k resistor to R and G terminals.
 Set the RES switch to 20K.
 Press RESET.
 The RESISTOR-FAULT LED should be off.
 Remove the test resistor and wait 5 seconds
(20 seconds with Option S).
PASS: The SE-325 should trip on RESISTOR FAULT.
 Connect the 100-k resistor to R and G terminals.
 Set the RES switch to 100K.
 Press RESET.
 The RESISTOR-FAULT LED should be off.
 Remove the test resistor and wait 5 seconds
(20 seconds with Option S).
PASS: The SE-325 should trip on RESISTOR FAULT.
To test the connected wiring, sensing resistor, and NGR:
 Reconnect SE-325 R and G connections.
 Set the RES switch to match sensing resistor.
 Press RESET.
PASS: The RESISTOR FAULT LED should be off.
7.2.2 VOLTAGE TEST
Test Equipment: 0 to 120 Vac voltage source and multimeter.
NOTE: Also use an isolation transformer if the test-voltage
source does not provide dc continuity for the SE-325
resistance-measurement circuit.
NOTE: Applying the test voltage to the R and G terminals will
damage the SE-325 and the ER sensing resistor. The RES
TRIP LEVEL is the trip voltage at terminal N, not terminal R.
Procedure:
 Check the ER sensing resistor connection to the SE-325.
 Disconnect the wire from sensing resistor terminal N. A
resistor-fault trip will occur.
 Set the voltage source to 0 V.
 Connect the voltage source between sensing resistor N and
G terminals.
 Set the RES TRIP LEVEL (VAC) to 20.
 Press RESET.
 The RESISTOR-FAULT LED should be off.
 Increase the test voltage to 25 Vac for 20-k sensors or

Rev. 13-D-070615
120 Vac for 100-k sensors and wait 5 seconds
(20 seconds with Option S).
PASS: The SE-325 should trip on RESISTOR FAULT.
7.3 SENSING-RESISTOR TEST
Test Equipment: Multimeter.
Procedure:
 Disconnect the sensing resistor.
 Measure the resistance between sensing-resistor terminals
R and N.
PASS: Resistance should be between 19.6 and 20.4 k
for 20-k sensing resistors. Resistance should be between
98 and 102 k for 100-k sensing resistors.
 Measure the resistance between sensing-resistor terminals
R and G in both directions.
PASS: Resistance should be greater than 10 M in both
directions.
