The current of the earth fault.
is appox 1.7amp please verify this with book concepts of physics by h.c. verma
because i read it few year back and at present i don't have that book
A current that flows from phase conductors to earth or protective conductors etc from the point of an insulation breakdown.

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 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.
What is a difference between ground fault and earth fault?
They mean the same thing, a current to ground/earth that shouldn't exist in the circuit.
Why star connection used in transmission?
Transmission circuits are prone to earth faults.Only star connection permits flow of earth fault current and the operation of earth fault relays.
Why is sensitive earth fault protection required?
Sensitive Earth Fault protection is required to either to alarm or trip the faulted circuit. It is usually used for resistance grounded or ungrounded systems; where first earth fault doesn't interrupt supply. It is also used on long overhead lines (even solidly grounded systems) where earth fault currents can be significantly low.
What is a break in earth's crust?
A 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.

Is a fault is a crack in the Earth's crust?
Yes a fault is a crack in the Earth's crust
How do you calculate maximum earth fault current?
transformer max earth fault current

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
What is the breaking point in the layers of earth is called?
A break in the Earth's surface might be called a chasm, a fissure, or a fault line.
What are the kinds of movements of the earth?
reverse fault, strike slip fault, and normal fault
What is a volcanic fault?
A volcanic fault is a deep crack in the earth.
Tension in earth crust can produce a normal fault which is?

A break in the earth's surface is called a what?
The break in the earth's surface is called a fault line.
