The ground detector monitors the voltage. This is similar to the ground fault interruption devices used for safety in environments like bathrooms and kitchens. A ground detector can be used to check for errors and can also monitor a system continuously, triggering an alarm if a ground develops. The devices can also automatically de-energize a system until the problem has been addressed. This is done by opening each circuit in the distribution panelboard to see if the ground detector indicates the return of a normal situation. Ground-Fault Detectors for Ungrounded Systems Early detection of ground faults on ungrounded systems allows critical systems to remain online while faults are identified and resolved. The AT-8600 Ground Detection System (GDS) provides continuous wireless detection of insulation faults on the field windings of brushless generators and motors, combining advanced ground fault measurement techniques with the latest innovations in … The Allied Edison ZX3 is a highly advanced tool by which a DC ground fault can be analyzed for station risk objectives and located without the need to de-energize live vital circuits critical to the station or system. If a ground in the system occurs the electrician must establish the location of the ground by isolating sections of the electrical system. By continuously monitoring the system's insulation resistance, Bender's ground-fault detectors can provide early indication of both immediate and trending ground faults before leakage current may be present. The ZX3 combines analog with digital technology, yielding the most innovative, advanced, ground detection and location machine in the world! These transients may disrupt sensitive electronic equipment and stress the insulation on electrical machinery. AT-8600 Ground Detection System. Line to ground voltage transients: If the system is ungrounded, be prepared to see a great number of transients on some feeders – especially on an aging power system.
