29、 neutral grounding devices as well.For general information on the Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, see the Preface of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.This Standard was prepared by th
30、e Subcommittee on Neutral Grounding Devices, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committe
31、e on Requirements for Electrical Safety has provided the following direction for the interpretation of standards under its jurisdiction: “The literal text shall be used in judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard. When the literal text cannot be applied to the pro
32、duct, such as for new materials or construction, and when a relevant committee interpretation has not already been published, CSA Groups procedures for interpretation shall be followed to determine the intended safety principle.”Notes: 1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice ver
33、sa) when the sense allows.2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.3) This Standard was developed by consensus, w
34、hich is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Technical Commit
35、tee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this Standard.4) To submit a request for interpretation of this Standard, please send the following information to inquiriescsagroup.org and include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line: a) define the problem, making reference
36、 to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch;b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; andc) where possible, phrase the request in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address the issue.Committee interpretati
37、ons are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing standardization and are available on the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csa.ca.5) This Standard is subject to review five years from the date of publication. Suggestions for its improvement wil
38、l be referred to the appropriate committee. To submit a proposal for change, please send the following information to inquiriescsagroup.org and include “Proposal for change” in the subject line: a) Standard designation (number);b) relevant clause, table, and/or figure number;c) wording of the propos
39、ed change; andd) rationale for the change.C22.2 No. 295-15Neutral grounding devicesSeptember 2015 2015 CSA Group 6C22.2 No. 295-15Neutral grounding devices1 Scope1.1 This Standard applies to assemblies of resistors, enclosures, and other components that provide high impedance grounding for the purpo
40、se of controlling the ground fault current or the voltage to ground of an alternating current system, when installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.1.2 This Standard applies to neutral grounding resistor assemblies rated for use on nominal voltage systems of 72 kV and less.1
41、.3 Neutral grounding resistor assemblies may be of an open type for mounting in other equipment.1.4 Neutral grounding assemblies may contain components and circuits for sensing and signalling.1.5 In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged t
42、o satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alte
43、rnative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (no
44、n-mandatory) to define their application.2 Reference publicationsThis Standard refers to the following publications, and where such reference is made, it shall be to the edition listed below, including all amendments published thereto.CSA GroupC22.1-15 Canadian Electrical Code, Part ICAN/CSA-C22.2 N
