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.
Earth fault relay and an over current relay Methods to energies an earth fault relay with simulation diagram?
As per my openion standby earth fault relay work on zero impedance measurement, when earth fault occures than zero
earth fault relay is similar like earth leakage ralay,but the 2nd one is more sensitiv.
resistic earth fault relay install on transformer nutral .
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
As with any IDMT relay the higher the fault current the quicker the trip time.
DF236 + after relay supply,short circuit to earth.
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).

An isolation transformer is a mutual transformer having a voltage ratio of 1:1, so that the secondary circuit is electrically isolated from the primary circuit, yet subject to the same voltage.An earth protection relay is a category of protective relay that responds to an earth fault monitored by a current transformer (CT). In the event of an earth fault being detected by the CT, the relay with activate the trip circuit to a circuit breaker which will then disconnect the fault.
when earth fault occurs very near to the neutral point of wye winding, the voltage available for driving earth fault current is small. Hence fault current is low. Relay has to be too sensitive and then it can operate for spurious signals like external faults, switching surges etc.
I'm guessing this is in reference to a restricted earth fault, and you want to know what the opposite is? Restricted earth fault protection is designed to operate for earth faults within a specific zone. Unrestricted protection will operate for faults "anywhere", as long as the pickup can be satisfied. For example, REF (restricted earth fault) transformer protection looks for a small amount of neutral current, and if this exists, and the relay identifies this current as being within the zone of protection, the relay will trip. If it were unrestricted, the small amount of neutral current alone would be enough to cause a trip.
