neutral  Johannes Gleim: Schutzwiderstand = protective resistor, bleeder. No mention of "protection" in your proposal. Please consider that Expert-Trafo is a German company and translations are not as reliable as genuine Englisch articles.

fault current protection resistor


Explanation:
I would prefer using fault because it is closer to fehler in my opinion.

And then protection instead of protective to emphasize the phrase "current protection" which in the German comes with a hyphen presumably for good reason! :-)

Residual Current Devices
Application guide
:
T test button
R resistor
IA residual current
:
The test button must be accessible by the user. By pushing it, residual current will be simulated using test resistor R, causing current to flow outside the summation transformer.

(eaton.eu)

The output line of the amplifier 15 contains, in series with the holding coil 8, a protective resistor 41 and a load resistor 42 which is connected to ground on one side.
https://patents.google.com/patent/WO1993017479A1/en

All exposed metal is earthed; fuses and miniature circuit-breakers (MCBs) are designed to trip under fault conditions, and residual current devices (RCDs) are designed to trip below the fatal level
:
These leads should incorporate barriers to prevent the user from touching live terminals when testing and incorporating a protective resistor and be well insulated and robust, such as those shown in Fig. 1.24 and Fig. 1.25.

  -> No, it's my expert knowledge applied. The particle 'protective' is essential in the context. A resistor is not 'protective' per se.
