Neutral-Earthing-Resistor Monitoring
SE-330AU SERIES
Neutral-Earthing-Resistor Monitor - New Revision
Description
The SE-330AU is an advanced earth-fault and earthing-resistor
monitoring relay for low- and medium-voltage transformers and
generators. It monitors neutral current, neutral-to-earth voltage,
and neutral-to-earth resistance. It provides continuous
monitoring of the neutral-to-earth path to verify that the neutral-
earthing resistor (NER) is intact. This is of utmost importance—
an open NER renders current-sensing earth-fault protection
inoperative and could result in a false belief that the system is
functioning properly. The SE-330AU earth-fault function complies
with AS/NZS 2081.3:2002. Outputs include four relay outputs,
and an analog output. A mini USB port is included to view
measured values, configure settings, and check event records.
An on-board micro SD card can be used for long-term data
logging. Network communications options are available. For
non-AS/NZS 2081 applications, see the SE-330 or SE-330HV.
Resistor Monitoring
Simplified Circuit Diagram
The SE-330AU combines the measured values of resistance,
current, and voltage to continuously determine that the NER is
intact. It is able to detect a resistor failure with or without an
earth fault present. Sensing resistors are matched to the system
voltage and are used to monitor NGRs on systems up to 35 kV.

The SE-330AU uses a 5- or 30-A-primary current transformer to
provide a pickup-setting range of 0.125 to 5 A or 0.75 to 30 A to
comply with AS/NZS 2081.3:2002. DFT filtering ensures that
false trips due to harmonic noise from adjustable-speed drives
do not occur. Open-CT detection is provided.
