What is the difference between the inrush current and the fault current?

∙ 11y ago
Magnetizing inrush current has bigger 2nd harmonics compare to short circuit current.
the second harmonics content is about >60% of fundamental harmonic.
magnetizing inrush current happened when we energised the transformer, and short circuit current happened if there is a short circuit between different alive phase.

Will an arc fault breaker work without a ground?
Yes a GFCI will work without a ground wire. A GFCI looks for a current differential between current in on the "hot" wire and current return on the neutral wire. Since current is the same throughout the circuit, no difference, no trip. If the load grounds out or shorts out, the current then takes the path of least resistance through the ground and not the neutral. This creates a difference between the "hot" and return neutral current and the device trips the circuit open.
What is the Difference between low and high impedance relays?
It depends on the resistance level in that area if the soil have low resistance then they will use high impedance system and vice versa..so reason behind this have to reduce fault current.
Why neatural ground resistor using in 33kv transformer?
The function of a neutral earth resistor is to limit any fault current resulting from fault between a line conductor and earth.
What is ground fault protection?
GFI's (Ground Fault Interruptors) measure the difference between the hot conductor current and the neutral current. In a normal (no fault) circuit, every single milliamp of current flowing out of the hot should return through the neutral. In other words, the two currents should be equal. If there is a ground fault, at least some of the current flows from the hot. through the fault path, to ground. In this case the neutral current is less than the hot current by however much is flowing to ground. The GFI senses this difference and trips, opening the circuit. GFI's are designed to protect equipment from damage and trip at around 30 ma. of differential current. GFCI receptacles (Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors) like the ones you might find in your bathroom, and GFCI circuit breakers are designed to protect people, and trip much lower, around 5 ma.
What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
What is a ground fault?
difference in current between hot and neutral conductors
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.
Difference between compartmental fault and tear fault?
It is the same
What is fault inception angle?
It the angle between fault current and voltage at the point where the fault occurs.
What is the difference between an earth fault relay and an over current relay?
earth fault relay is also a type of over current relay but the set value of current or relay sensing current is much less than the maximum load current.in over current relay relay sensing current ise than maximum load current mor

What is the difference between a crack in the earths crust and a fault?
There is no difference. The definition of fault is precisely: a crack in the Earth's crust.
Different between locked rotor current and starting current?
difference between them based on the time where time of starting current equal to 2:8sec. & time of locked rotor current equal to 20:25 sec. so it is called also long start time fault.
Difference between joint and fault?
joint does not show any relative movement as fault does
What is the difference between 5P10 and 5P20 current transformers?
PS class means protectionclass CT. 5P10 means 5% errorshown while 10 times fault current flows.and 5P20 5% errorshown while 20 times fault current flowshence 5P20 superior comparing to 5P10
What is the difference between an earthtquake and a fault?
The same as between running and legs.
