The European standard EN 50110 can be used as a guide. 2.3 Intended use The NGRM500 is only intended for use in high-resistance grounded systems. The NGRM550 is only intended for use in low-resistance grounded systems. In these sys- tems, the NGRM5… monitors the current through the neutral grounding resistor (NGR), ...
Safety instructions Systems with a resistance-grounded star point can be used when an interruption of the power supply would involve excessive costs due to production stoppage (e.g. automotive production, chemical industry). The ground fault that occurs between a phase and ground does not lead to a failure of the power supply in these systems.

"passive" when the measured current or voltage value exceeds or falls below the internal threshold. The threshold is 15 % of the nominal value and can be adjusted by Bender if required. A shorted or open NGR is reliably detected in an energized as well as a de-energized in- stallation with the active measurement method.
