Arc Flash/Blast Reduction: Eliminates hazardous energy during ground faults, which are present in 90% of all electrical faults. This instruction booklet is intended as a general guidance tool for personnel installing Post Glover High Resistance Grounding Systems. However, each unit is designed for a specific application/installation. The detailed drawings provided with each unit supersede the general information provided in this booklet.
Harmonic alarming. 2.2 Loss of Ground When the current mentioned above goes to zero, typically this indicates a Loss of Ground condition (i.e. grounding wire failure). If this occurs, the system will be Ungrounded. The PulserPlus Pro™ controller has an Under-Current / Under-Voltage feature that detects this condition for both Fundamental and 3 Harmonics. Upon detection, the green NORMAL indicating light will turn off and its auxiliary form-C contacts change state.
Harmonics High 3 harmonics are also sensed by the PulserPlus Pro™ controller. An upper limit is set by the user for detection of current or voltage across the resistor. After a time delay expires; the amber THIRD HARMONIC indicator light will illuminate, the NORMAL indicator light will turn off, and an alarm horn will sound. Upon detection, the SYSTEM NORMAL and THIRD HARMONIC auxiliary form-C contacts change state.
PULSERPLUS PRO™ HIGH RESISTANCE GROUNDING SYSTEM PULSERPLUS PRO™ HIGH RESISTANCE GROUNDING SYSTEM INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Section 3 – Installation Post Glover High Resistance Grounding Systems are packaged in a variety of different configurations depending on the ratings and site requirements. The typical low-voltage and medium-voltage enclosures are shown in Section 9. Consult all specific equipment drawings furnished by Post Glover Resistors, Inc., for your particular...

Generally, the line connections are made from either the top or bottom of the enclosure. Space is provided for line cables to run down the side without any cable bends.
PulserPlus Pro™ module. The readings on the PulserPlus Pro™ module will be lower than normal readings due to the test resistor connected in series with the neutral grounding resistor. The purpose of the test resistor is to avoid a phase- ground-phase fault if an actual ground fault were to occur during testing.

Press the RESET pushbutton and the red and green lights and auxiliary contacts should revert to their normal states. Without Test Resistor This test will verify operation of the PulserPlus Pro™ module only. The test bypasses the neutral grounding resistor and most of the circuitry by opening the neutral grounding circuit and applying control voltage (~120Vac) to the PulserPlus Pro™ controller module.
The magnitude of zero-sequence charging current is determined by the line-to-ground capacitance associated with system components. The value of the current must be known to properly coordinate the Post Glover High- Resistance Grounding System. In an industrial power system where the design and components are known, the charging current can be estimated with reasonable accuracy.
NOTE: The temporary disconnect switch and current limiting fuse associated with the phase to be grounded are not included with the PulserPlus Pro™. A portable ammeter can be included as an option with the PulserPlus Pro™. 4750 Olympic Blvd. • Erlanger, KY 41018 • USA 4750 Olympic Blvd.
The unit may be programmed to display any or all of these measurements. 6.2 Adjustable Parameters The following features of the PulserPlus Pro™ can be set from the front panel. Fundamental Voltage Measurement On/Off...

This feature multiplies the measured current by the selected CT ratio. For example, the physical limitation of the PulserPlus Pro™ module is 16A. If 20A is desired, a 30:5 CT is used to send a 0-5A signal the module. The CT ratio is set for 6x, so the measured current (0 to 5A) is multiplied by 6x. The display and alarming uses this...
PULSERPLUS PRO™ HIGH RESISTANCE GROUNDING SYSTEM PULSERPLUS PRO™ HIGH RESISTANCE GROUNDING SYSTEM INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS The Lo Limit setpoint indicates the level at which the Loss of Ground condition will activate. For a Harmonic Lo Limit, it may also indicate a Ground Fault.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Section 8 – Maintenance Normally, no maintenance is necessary for the PulserPlus Pro™ high resistance grounding system. However, periodic inspections are needed to ensure that the controller is functioning correctly and the resistor is still capable of protecting the system.
