2.1.5 RES TRIP LEVEL

Neutral-to-ground trip voltage is adjustable from 20 to
400 Vac with a 20-k sensing resistor, and 100 to
2,000 Vac with a 100-k sensing resistor. To prevent false
resistor-fault trips, the RES TRIP LEVEL should be set
higher than the voltage across the neutral-grounding resistor
when neutral-to-ground current is equal to the operating
value of the ground-fault circuit. Typical values for 5-, 15-,
and 25-A tripping systems are shown in Table 1. For other
systems, refer to the NGR Monitor Set-Point Assistant at

 Press RESET.
 The RESISTOR-FAULT LED should be off.
 Remove the test resistor and wait 5 seconds
(20 seconds with Option S).
PASS: The SE-325 should trip on RESISTOR FAULT.

To test the connected wiring, sensing resistor, and NGR:

 Reconnect SE-325 R and G connections.
 Set the RES switch to match sensing resistor.
 Press RESET.
PASS: The RESISTOR FAULT LED should be off.

7.2.2 VOLTAGE TEST

Test Equipment: 0 to 120 Vac voltage source and multimeter.

NOTE: Also use an isolation transformer if the test-voltage

source does not provide dc continuity for the SE-325
resistance-measurement circuit.

NOTE: Applying the test voltage to the R and G terminals will

damage the SE-325 and the ER sensing resistor. The RES
TRIP LEVEL is the trip voltage at terminal N, not terminal R.

Procedure:
 Check the ER sensing resistor connection to the SE-325.
 Disconnect the wire from sensing resistor terminal N. A
resistor-fault trip will occur.
 Set the voltage source to 0 V.
 Connect the voltage source between sensing resistor N and
G terminals.
 Set the RES TRIP LEVEL (VAC) to 20.
 Press RESET.
 The RESISTOR-FAULT LED should be off.
 Increase the test voltage to 25 Vac for 20-k sensors or
