Earth Fault and Short Circuit Indicator type EKS 3.2

[Home] [Back] [Technical Description] [Contact]
Application
The earth fault and short circuit indicator type EKS3.2 is a combined instrument for detecting earth faults and short circuits.
This indicator is used in medium voltage radial networks with one input. The earth fault current in resistance-earthed or solidly earthed neutral systems must be 10 A as a minimum. This indication system should be installed in each branch of the network.

The fault can be indicated as follows:
a) short circuit - with one LED for each core
b) earth fault - with one LED
c) one remote indication for earth fault and short
circuit via a potential-free relay contact.

Earth Fault and Short Circuit Indicator type EKS 3.2
General Description
The indicator is available as a panel-mounted (1) or surface- mounted (2) device. The indicator set consists of one reading instrument (1,2), four sensors (3) and copper cables (4).

The earth fault- and short circuit indicator summarizes two ways of fault search:
  1.) detection of short circuits
  2.) detection of earth faults.

F 6 6
The short circuit sensors and the earth fault sensor must be installed on screened, earthed cables.

The Versions "E" and "F" of the earth fault- and short circuit indicator type EKS3.2 are constructed identically. The difference is the number of operating points for earth fault and / or short circuit indication which can be chosen (confer table).

Every instrument is equipped with a contact for remote indication as a permanent contact (1 x changer). (Wipper contact is availabe by special request.).
