Important control, signal and supply systems, such as those for railway installations, power plants or other industrial facilities,
are designed to be potential-free and are monitored by earth fault indicators in order to ensure safe and uninterrupted
operation. Short-to-ground faults in IT networks, control lines or, for example, signal lines in railways are referred to as earth faults.
While a single earth fault will not disrupt the service, a second earth fault carries a high risk of partial or complete installation
breakdown. For this reason, any earth fault must be located and repaired as fast as possible.
The start point of a feeding transformer in an IT network is not grounded, and the protective earth of the load is separately grounded.
DESCRIPTION
In industrial systems where cables are frequently in highly
conductive environments, a short-circuit is one of the greatest
potential hazards.
While a ground fault in an IT network won’t initially trip any
fuses or interrupt any processes, the short will cause the formerly
unearthed, potential-free system to set itself to the
earth potential created by the fault.
