Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
high-resistance grounded system
an electrical distribution system in which the neutral is intentionally grounded through a high resistance. The high-resistance grounded wye system is an alternative to solidly grounded and ungrounded systems.
High-resistance grounding will limit ground fault current to a few amperes, thus removing the potential for arcing damage inherent in solidly grounded systems.
