What are the faults in the cable?

Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.


How are earths faults different from your faults?

Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.

What is a disconnect installation fault?

I have never heard a fault type referred to as a "disconnect installation fault". In general there are a few types of faults - phase to ground or ground faults, phase to phase, phase to phase to ground, three phase, and three phase to ground. I'm guessing what you're referring to is a fault on a disconnect switch. Disconnects are used to isolate equipment. When a disconnect faults, it usually faults to ground.

What is a deep furrow in the ground or ocean floor?

Deep furrows in the ground or ocean floor are faults. San Andreas fault in California is a prime example, having displacement hundreds of kilometers long. Two kinds of faults are dip-slip faults and strike-slip faults.

Why short circuit and accidental ground is the most dangerous faults?

These are the most dangerous faults because you will be dealing with very high fault levels. Phase to phase will have very little to limit the impedance of the fault current. And phase to ground faults can be high since most systems are solidly grounded. Arching faults and faults through an impedance will be lower and cause less electrical and mechanical stress on the system.
