What is difference between earth leakage relay and
restricted earth fault relay ?
Answer Posted / prasun bhaumik
REF sense the residual or differential current in between
two sets of CTs installed at two sides of protected unit
i.e Tr or Gen. It is a high imedance differential
protection it will only operate when
1) There is a earth fault inside the object which will
produce sufficient differential current.
2) In case fault occures out side the zone any of the CT
may satuarate then it will mal operate.
But earth leakage relay is conncetd with a CT which is
commonly ring type and surronded the earthing path of the
instrument or cable with armour it operates on Over current
principle not differential principle so there is no
requirement of stabilizing resistance as in the case of REF

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I - is the value of AC fault current. t - is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K – is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.

During Testing of Maintenance Free Earthing, How deep should be the Spikes of Earth Test Meter should be inserted in the soil(one spike is 15 Meter & Other spike is 30 Mtrs away from the Main Earth Electrode. Because, recently, we observed that when spike is inserted 3-4 Inch in the earth- results are better, If spike is inserted 1 feet deep than results are increasing.
