How do you trace earth fault?

The methodical way is to remove devices one-by-one from the circuit and after each device is removed, reset the breaker or GFCI and see if it still trips.

What is the appearance of fault?

Faults are planar fractures in Earth's crust where one side has moved relative to the other. They can vary in size, orientation, and shape. Faults often exhibit a linear feature called a fault trace on the Earth's surface.


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.

Is the San Andreas fault a right-lateral or left-lateral strike-slip fault?

The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault. This means that as you face the fault trace, the opposite side of the fault moves to the right.

Where are no earthquake?

Places that are not along fault lines planes* in the earth would have very few earthquakes. +++ In particular, places far from subduction zones, in which one of the Earth's crustal plates is being forced down below another. *A fault plane is the fracture with displacement itself. Its line is the trace of the fault plane's intersection with the land surface. There are no places on Earth that experience absolutely no earthquakes.


What is the difference between balanced earth fault and restricted earth fault?

There is such a thing as a three phase to earth fault, so maybe this is what you mean by a "balanced earth fault". I don't believe any earth or ground currents would flow in this case. A restricted earth fault is a typical phase to earth fault, where the zone of protection is restricted to a specific area, such as around a transformer. "Restricted" is referring to the protection method, not what is actually going on with the currents and voltages.

How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?

You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.
