An "earth fault relay" is a bit ambiguous. A relay used in the power system to detect neutral or ground faults measure the vector difference of the three phase power, or measure the neutral current directly. If current is above a set trip point, the relay will operate.
If you are referring to GFCI's, they effectively measure the current flowing in and the current flowing out on the two "hot" wires, and if these do not cancel each other out, then the GFCI will trip. This is because if current in does not equal current out, then some current must be flowing out a different way (to ground!).

Earth fault relay and an overcurrent relay Methods to energise an earth fault relay?
Earth fault relay and an over current relay Methods to energies an earth fault relay with simulation diagram?
What is the difference between an earth fault relay and an over current relay?
earth fault relay is also a type of over current relay but the set value of current or relay sensing current is much less than the maximum load current.in over current relay relay sensing current ise than maximum load current mor
What is the difference between Earth Fault Relay and Earth Leakage Relay?
Earth leakage relays are instantaneous tripping relays where as earth fault relays have the option of time and ampere setting i.e. for a setted ampere the circuit breaker will be tripped off after the setted time (in second).
How do you calculate earth fault current value by knowing the setting in electromagnetic relay?

What is difference between isolation transformer and earth protection relay?
An isolation transformer is a mutual transformer having a voltage ratio of 1:1, so that the secondary circuit is electrically isolated from the primary circuit, yet subject to the same voltage.An earth protection relay is a category of protective relay that responds to an earth fault monitored by a current transformer (CT). In the event of an earth fault being detected by the CT, the relay with activate the trip circuit to a circuit breaker which will then disconnect the fault.

What is an earth fault relay?
An earth fault relay is a relay that is activated by a fault current that flows from the power line to the earth. Earth fault relays are found in power distribution systems.
How does a standby earth fault relay work?
As per my openion standby earth fault relay work on zero impedance measurement, when earth fault occures than zero
Circuit diagram of stand by earth fault relay?
earth fault relay is similar like earth leakage ralay,but the 2nd one is more sensitiv.
What is the REF 452 plus relay?
resistic earth fault relay install on transformer nutral .
How is a IDMT relay used to give protection against a phase to earth fault a phase to phase fault on a feeder?
As with any IDMT relay the higher the fault current the quicker the trip time.
What is the difference between an earth fault relay and an over current relay?
earth fault relay is also a type of over current relay but the set value of current or relay sensing current is much less than the maximum load current.in over current relay relay sensing current ise than maximum load current mor
What is df236 fault code?
DF236 + after relay supply,short circuit to earth.
What is the difference between Earth Fault Relay and Earth Leakage Relay?
Earth leakage relays are instantaneous tripping relays where as earth fault relays have the option of time and ampere setting i.e. for a setted ampere the circuit breaker will be tripped off after the setted time (in second).
What is a restricted earth neutral system?
appropriate resistance is to be inserted between the neutral point of the transformer and the earthing mat to restricted earth fault current. for this purpose a sensitive earth leakage relay is used. in the event of a fault, fault current returning to the system neutral trips an earth leakage relay and disconnects the supply. anand r. ambekar
