what is the different between earth leakage relay and earth fault relay?..

Answer / muhammad umair

Both Take their sensing from a ring core CT. In earth
leakage relay sensing is high i.e in mA.Where as earth fault
relay is used on higher loads where sensing is low i.e in A.
This is why earth leakage is used for the house hold devices
or power supply sockets protection. And Earth fault relay is
use for Industrial loads,motors normally more than 37KW (Not
a standard),distribution,generation etc.

i am using auto transformer for starting of induction motor to provide reduse voltages...but the principle of a tansformer according to definition"which transform energy to on circuit to another circuit with constant power and constant frequency". so if i am using reduse voltage then current obsely hige because power is same.but we use auto transfarmer for starting of induction motor to give low current.but here according to definition we are giving hige current.
