HIGH RESISTANCE GROUNDING SYSTEM

Gemini

 is a unique, fail safe, all-in-one neutral grounding 

system, combining ground fault protection with a 
redundant resistor system, in addition to a built-in resistor 
integrity monitoring relay.

Providing protection against any compromising of the 
resistor integrity, the patented twin resistance paths in 
combination with the integrity monitoring relay form the 
heart of the 

Gemini

 system. Limiting any ground fault 

to predetermined and safe levels, the parallel resistance 
circuit protects against the damaging effect of a ground 
fault and should the integrity of either resistor path be  
compromised, the second path continues to provide the 
necessary protection while an alarm is activated.
