Dc Earth Leakage Relay

The relay senses the dc earth leakage current for any equipments like switch boards rectifiers battery chargers by sensing resistance between positive negative terminals of dc system earth.
Dc earth leakage relay. The el731 ac dc sensitive earth leakage relay is a revolutionary product that finally solves common ground fault problems associated with variable frequency drives and is equally applicable to ac dc and mixed ac dc systems. The relay senses the dc earth leakage current for any equipments like switch boards rectifiers battery chargers by sensing resistance between positive negative terminals of dc system earth. Unlike potential based sensors these sensors can localize the earth leakage fault to specific feeders if the feeder cables are passed through the sensor unit. Dc earth leakage relay.
If an earth fault is present the fast response sensor detects the difference between the two currents and. These relays are ideal for detecting and localizing earth leakage in dc power systems. Two ct s are required for the entire frequency range or one ct can be used for only low or high frequency detection. Thus leakage current if any will be dependent on the resistance value between respective terminals higher the resistance lower is the leakage.
The measuring method is based on the principle that the positive and the negative current in a fault free load circuit sum to zero. The dc leakage current is measured by electronic ag sensor inserted in each monitored load circuit. It detects a wide range of earth leakage currents and can reliably protect a variety of applications including conveyor.
