What is the difference between balanced earth fault and restricted earth fault?

There is such a thing as a three phase to earth fault, so maybe this is what you mean by a "balanced earth fault". I don't believe any earth or ground currents would flow in this case. A restricted earth fault is a typical phase to earth fault, where the zone of protection is restricted to a specific area, such as around a transformer. "Restricted" is referring to the protection method, not what is actually going on with the currents and voltages.


Will earth fault affect batteries discharging in an equipment?

If one terminal of a battery is earthed (and, by this, we normally mean a 'chassis earth'), then an earth fault within the circuit supplied by the opposite terminal will result in the battery being discharged. The rate of discharge depends on the resistance of the earth fault.


What is the mean of Fault?

A fault is a fracture or numerous fractures in the earth's crust where the two sides move past each other.


What is an earth fault relay?

An earth fault relay is a relay that is activated by a fault current that flows from the power line to the earth. Earth fault relays are found in power distribution systems.

Is a fault is a crack in the Earth's crust?

Yes a fault is a crack in the Earth's crust


How do you calculate maximum earth fault current?

Why the high resistance earth fault in the appliance increase the risk of electric shock when using appliance in earth situation?

If the earth connection has a high resistance it is not capable of acting as a true earth. For example, the high resistance might mean that the fuse or circuit-breaker will fail to operate when there is a fault.


How does a standby earth fault relay work?

As per my openion standby earth fault relay work on zero impedance measurement, when earth fault occures than zero


What is the breaking point in the layers of earth is called?

A break in the Earth's surface might be called a chasm, a fissure, or a fault line.


What are the kinds of movements of the earth?

reverse fault, strike slip fault, and normal fault


How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?

You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.
