Neutral Voltage Displacement – A Signal for Protection Relay
Neutral Voltage Displacement (NVD) is one of the important protective mechanisms in electrical systems to detect single-phase-to-ground faults. The shift in the neutral voltage relative to the ground potential is monitored for fault conditions, and appropriate action is initiated by protection relays to protect...
