General protection fault errors.
General Protection Fault errors, system hangs, issues with video.
To prevent overheating/damage/fire of the electrical components in a circuit.
· Basic protection is insulation, barriers, enclosures, placing out of reach and SELV/FELV/PELV. Fault protection is use of RCD's, earthing etc.
Protective devices - relays, CT,PT, isolators, circuit breakers are used for fault protection. Fault protection means If there is a fault in the circuit, the circuit must be cut off before any damage occurs due to fault.
If the fault is a direct short to ground, the fault current can be high enough to trip the upstream protection.
general robert e lee said it
Restricted earth fault protection is used to protect a specific zone, and should not trip for a fault outside of that zone (usually limited to a transformer, and possibly extending to lowside, highside, and tertiary breakers).
Yes, it will.
No, a circuit protection device must open the circuit on a fault current or overload.
