Ground Fault Location
Application Example
Directional determination may often be used to locate ground faults. In radial systems, locating the ground
fault is relatively simple. Since all feeders from a common bus (Figure 2-92) deliver a capacitive charging
current, nearly the total ground fault current of the system is available at the measuring point of the faulty line
in the ungrounded system. In the resonant grounded system it is the residual wattmetric current of the
Petersen coil that flows via the measuring point. Therefore, on the faulty cables a clear "forward" decision is
made whereas in other feeders either "reverse" direction is sent back or no measurement is carried out in case
ground current is too low. Definitely the faulty line can be determined clearly.

In meshed or looped systems, the measuring points of the faulty line also receive the maximum ground fault
current (residual current). Only in this line, "forward" direction is signaled at both ends (Figure 2-93). The rest
of the direction indications in the system may also be useful for ground fault detection. However, some indica-
tions may not be given when the ground current is too low.
