An "earth fault relay" is a bit ambiguous. A relay used in the power system to detect neutral or ground faults measure the vector difference of the three phase power, or measure the neutral current directly. If current is above a set trip point, the relay will operate.
If you are referring to GFCI's, they effectively measure the current flowing in and the current flowing out on the two "hot" wires, and if these do not cancel each other out, then the GFCI will trip. This is because if current in does not equal current out, then some current must be flowing out a different way (to ground!).

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 Earth Fault Relay and Earth Leakage Relay?
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 difference between isolation transformer and earth protection relay?
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.

Why percentage differential relay is not suitable for detecting the earth fault near neutral of an wye connected winding?
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.
