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.
What is the fault current that will flow due to insulation
failure between the terminal L and the metallic enclosure of the
load?
Calculate the Earth Potential Rise (EPR) when there is an
insulation failure as shown in the figure.
Answers In the given Protection Earth system is with 2-electrode earthing mechanism. The Resistance of earth electrodes are 4 ohm and the 11 ohm. The supply potential of the system is, V = 240 volts (a) The Fault current (I): The
