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 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.
Earth fault relay and an overcurrent relay Methods to energise an earth fault relay?
Earth fault relay and an over current relay Methods to energies an earth fault relay with simulation diagram?
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is a ground fault?
difference in current between hot and neutral conductors
How do you calculate maximum earth fault current?
transformer max earth fault current
What is the difference between a fault and a fold?
a fault is a large crack in the earth. a fold is when the ground gets bent.
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.
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 an earth fault relay?
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.
What is difference between the mcb and rcb?
MCB stands for miniature circuit breaker , which provides protection against over current. the setting is not adjustable. RCB stands for residual circuit breaker which provides protection against earth fault as well as over current. It monitors the current difference between phase and neutral and if the difference is more than rated value say 200 milli amps it will trip.
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

How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?
You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.
