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

What is the difference between fault lines and plate boundaries?

Fault lines are simply where cracks appear in the earth's crust from the movement of the plates.


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.
