What is mean by Sensitive Earth fault & what are the effects

Answer Posted / khrabsheh

Sensitive Earth Fault Protection Normally used on systems where the earth fault current is limited to a very low value (Neutral earthed through resistors, Peterson coil, reactance, etc) Scheme consists out of a ring CT (Core Balance CT) around the three phase conductors, and the relay connected to the secondary side of the CT. A very low setting is possible, even sometimes lower then 1% FLA. Need to coordinate with similar relays downstream.

at work we have a 3 phase motor but on testing one phase isnt getting a reading. it runs 24 hours a day all week. stops and starts well no noise or heating. the phase isnt down to earth.is it just a bad meter reading or not? phases one and three came up with a resistance reading of 0.4 but phase 2 couldnt get anything shows up as open circuit.

following are the questions asked in interviews: 1) Considering the short circuit fault, which switchgear is preferable, SFU OR MCCB? Which operates faster? whicg one is popular in Indian Market and why? 2)Define SCPD. What is type2 coodination? 3)Why the contactor rating is higher for the fuseless selection than for fuse selection? whether the ratinf of SFU or MCCB remains the same in both the cases? 4)If the HP rating is known then can you calculate the ratings of L.V Switchgear(SFU/MCCB, contactor, OLR) without using the selection chart?
