The nearest fault line to Singapore is the Sunda Trench, located approximately 300 kilometers to the west of the city-state. While Singapore itself is not situated on a tectonic plate boundary, the Sunda Trench is an important seismic zone where the Indo-Australian Plate meets the Eurasian Plate. This distance means that Singapore is relatively sheltered from direct seismic activity, although it can still experience tremors from distant earthquakes.

How does a distance protective relay work?

The distance relay trips when a fault occurs at a distant or a remote place in the electric transmission line. There is a mechanism based on the impedance calculation of the distance of the transmission line after which it is accurately known where the fault has taken place. Thus the distance protective relay can trip the circuit & prevent the fault to be carried further and also can indicate the location of the fault.


How much displacement has taken place on this fault?

The amount of displacement on this fault is the distance that one side of the fault has moved relative to the other side.


Who is at fault in a rear-ending accident if someone slams on their brakes after accelerating in a free flow lane?

Because rear end accidents can almost always be avoided by allowing proper stopping distance between you and the car ahead, it is almost universally the fault of the car in the rear. Nothing the car in front can do matters much if the car in the rear is allowing enough distance between them.

What is the difference between a ground fault and an arc fault?

A ground fault occurs when an electrical current flows to the ground due to a fault in the wiring or equipment. An arc fault, on the other hand, is a high-energy discharge of electricity between conductors, which can cause fires.
