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.
Can stranded 8 SWG GI wire be used for motor earthing?
The size of grounding wires is dependant upon what the motor current category the motor fall into. The higher the motor amperage is, the higher the fault current will be so the larger the conductor size has to be to carry the fault current.
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
The device used to deenergize circuits automatically when a very small ground fault current flows is the?
A ground fault circuit interrupter is the device used to de-energize the circuit.
What is the similarity between a fault and a fault zone?
A fault is where to tectonic plates meet but a fault zone is the area around a fault.
How do you calculate earth fault current value by knowing the setting in electromagnetic relay?
trh
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.
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 earth fault loop impedance?
An earth-fault loop is the path taken by the fault current, when an earth-fault occurs within an electrical installation, and comprises a series circuit made up ofthe utility company tranformer's low-voltage winding,the utility company's distribution cable's line conductor,the consumer's line conductor to the point of an earth fault,the consumer's earthing conductor,and the resistance of the earth path back to the transformer.The combined opposition of this series circuit to the flow of fault current is termed the earth-fault loop impedance, expressed in ohms.
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.
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?
How do you calculate internal fault loop impedance?
by calculating the loop current
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.
Can earth fault current go up passing through the downstream panel and directly cause a trip at the upstream panel which have higher set point of earth fault protection?
If the fault is a direct short to ground, the fault current can be high enough to trip the upstream protection.
Why star connection used in transmission?
Transmission circuits are prone to earth faults.Only star connection permits flow of earth fault current and the operation of earth fault relays.
What is the minimum Earth fault current that an Earth leakage protection unit must be able to sense?
10mA
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.
