Figure below indicates a typical LV circuit with a phase to neutral voltage of 240V.

  • PE is the protective earthing bus of the facility where the load is located and the metallic enclosure of the load is connected to PE with negligible resistance.
  • Values of earth electrode resistances R1 and R2 are 4 ohm and 11 ohms respectively.
  • All other impedances are negligible.
  1. What is the fault current that will flow due to insulation failure between the terminal L and the metallic enclosure of the load?
  2. Calculate the Earth Potential Rise (EPR) when there is an insulation failure as shown in the figure.
