It checks for the sum of phase currents which is meant to be zero in case of Star point Grounded transformer. In case of any discrepancy i.e star point shifting with respect to one of the phases the sum of currents stands no longer null. This is when our NDR comes into play as it will avoid whole feeder tripping in case of 2nd fault occurring on the same transformer.
How neitral displacement occurs?
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!).
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.
Both Current and Potential Transformers are used for relays according to the working of relay.
An 'oscillating' neutral can exist when the star point of a three-phase, star (wye) connected, secondary winding becomes disconnected from earth (ground) -e.g. if copper thieves have removed the earth conductor or it simply becomes disconnected. This results in a 'floating neutral', in which the phase voltages are no longer necessarily equal to each other (in other words, the three phase voltages have become 'unbalanced') the extent to which depends upon how unbalanced the supplied load is. An 'oscillating' neutral occurs when the displacement of the neutral point changes as it responds to changes in the unbalanced load currents.
YES
VDG14 is a type of neutral displacement relay used in electrical systems to protect against earth faults. It operates by measuring the current flow in different phases and the neutral conductor to detect any imbalance that may indicate a fault. This relay helps to quickly isolate the faulted section of the system to prevent further damage.
How neitral displacement occurs?
It is possible for aÊrelay toÊstop working. A relay can overheat or stop working due to a shortage in the wiring.
The relay isn't working correctly
The neutral grounding resistor fail-safe relay is designed to monitor the continuity of the neutral grounding resistor. If the resistor fails or becomes disconnected, the relay will detect the fault and trip the system to prevent overvoltages that could damage equipment or injure personnel. This helps maintain a safe and reliable electrical system by ensuring proper grounding.
YES

In a three phase connected system, if the loads are not balanced or if one voltage is disconnected due to any reason there will be neutral displacement to a new voltage level (from normal zero voltage). This can increase/decrease voltage in other phases
It is a fuse.
No, it shouldn't have anything to do with the starter. A bad fuel relay will stop the fuel pump from working.
The 59N relay may be tripping the breaker due to circuit overload, short circuit, or ground fault. Check for any faulty connections, damaged wires, or improper settings on the relay. Ensure that the relay is properly sized for the load it is protecting and troubleshoot any potential issues in the circuit.
