Intended use
The NGRM500 is only intended for use in high-resistan-
ce grounded systems. The NGRM550 is only intended
for use in low-resistance grounded systems. In these
systems, the NGRM5… monitors
• the current through the neutral grounding resistor
(NGR),
• the voltage between the star point of the transformer
and ground (voltage drop across the NGR),
• the condition of the NGR.
Any other use than that described in the manual is
regarded as improper. Intended use includes all the
instructions in the manual.
Safety instructions
I Risk of electrocution due to electric shock!
Touching live parts of the system carries the risk
of:
- An electric shock
- Damage to the electrical installation
- Destruction of the device
Before installing the device and before working
on its connections, make sure that the installati-
on has been de-energized. Observe the rules for
working on electrical installations.

Measuring current transformer selection
Depending on the system to be monitored, a suitable measuring current transformer has to be chosen. All com-
mon measuring current transformers (50 mA or 5 A on the secondary side) can be used. The following table helps
you with the choice:

Maximum trip times t(GFtrip) for the
CD-NGRM used
The setting for tGF trip must under no circumstances be
longer than the maximum possible operating time of
the CD-NGRM coupling device.
The table shows an overview of the tGF trip settings for
the coupling device used (menu 6.4):

• Trip threshold for voltage (UNGR)
• Trip threshold for current (INGR)
• Trip threshold for resistance (RNGR)
i
Low trip threshold values: may lead to false tripping.
High trip threshold values: the device may not trip
at all

2. System settings of the relays (menu 6.5)
The factory setting for the relays is fail-safe. In the case
of a test, the relays change state.
i
Fail-safe: The relay is energized during normal
operation and is de-energized in the event of a
fault (“fail-safe”)
Non-fail-safe: The relay is de-energized in normal
operation and is energized in the event of a fault
(“non-fail-safe”)
3. Field calibration (menu 6.6)
During field calibration, all tolerances of the connected
CD-series coupling device and the NGR are considered.
The current measured value is calibrated to the set
nominal value of the NGR (RNGR nom). In order to achieve
high accuracy, start the device and let it run for at least
one hour in the operating environment before carrying
out the field calibration.
i
For the field calibration the device must be in
auto mode (menu 6.3.1 = auto). If the digital in-
put I1 is used with “Digital 1 > NGR method”
(menu 6.6.5.3), “Method > external” (menu 6.3.1)
must be selected and I1 must be active. The trip
relay is switched during field calibration!
4. RMS trip signal, fundamental frequency,
harmonics
The measured value which causes tripping can be se-
lected via the “Trip signal” parameter (menu 6.4.11).
Trip signal can be:
• RMS: The RMS value of Ior Uover the entire fre-
quency range (up to approx. 3.8 kHz).
• Fundamental frequency: Only the RMS value of
the fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz).
• Harmonics: The filtered RMS value on the selected
range of harmonics with
H0 = DC; H1 = fundamental frequency; H2 = 2 x funda-
mental frequency; … H32 = 32 x fundamental frequency
i
In the “Harmonics” measured value display
(menu 2) all spectral lines are always displayed.
This is independent of the trip signal setting.
i
On the standard display, the trip signal is indicated
as resistance (in Ω or %) or as current (in A or %).
The setting is entered in “Display” (menu 5).
5. Initial measurement
During device start, all measured values are recorded.
