Earth Lamp Indicator

Earth fault indicator using ohm meter this instrument is very sensitive as compared to earth fault indication lamps.

Earth lamp indicator. This is because if there is an earth fault the potential difference between the earth and line become zero so there wont be any current flow ie lap on that line off. The fault indicator can be connected into your efis or wired to a 12volt led light sold separately on your control panel to alert you to the state of charge and state of health of the battery. When earth lamp switch els on a feeder panel is in off position the neutral of the star connected primaries of three lamp transformers is disconnected from the earth and the voltage across the primary is the same for each transformer regardless whether the ship s feeder system. The earth 4 0 device is an earth fault indicator.

Efi 02 product manual pushbut ton led cabl e gland 4 fixing hole s diam. Explain earth lamps. It shows the value of insulation resistance directly in kohm. When the branch circuit with the fault is switched off the earth lamp will return to normal brightness.

The earth fault is indicated by an led. Red and green leds on phase neutral and earth ok 2. A single side pcb for the earth fault indicator is shown in fig. Earth connection is a must in domestic wiring to bleed current to the earth if the metal body of a device is accidentally touched with the phase line.

If earth fault occurs the lamp will show dim light or goes out because potential is zero. Additionally our etx hundred series aircraft batteries have redundant electronic circuits and battery fault indication. The earth fault indicator type efl can be used in radial medium voltage networks with one input and open ring networks. It is designed to detect locally indicate and remotely report earth fault currents in medium voltage distribution networks.

A typical earth fault circuit used on board ship s electrical distribution system is shown below. There is a test button under the earth fault indicator and when i press this button the earth fault indicator goes from clear to yellow and the main safety switch is tripped again. In brief if the phase neutral and earth connections are proper both the red and green leds light up. The circuit is directly connected to mains to monitor the status of the connections.

External signal lamps wall mounted housings. I am able to reset this and when i do the earth fault indicator goes back to clear. Designed to be installed on mv cables up to 33kv underground switchgears cells etc. 5mm on a 63 5mm square on the bot tom of the box general description efi earth fault indicator device for earth fault detection and signalling on medium voltage networks.

The network has to be solidly earthed or low resistance earthed.
