Earth leakage protection - Why?

The opportunity
Devices for providing protection against earth leakage faults appeared in the 1930s. Since that time, substantial developments
have taken place.

Wiring regulations and practices demand good bonding to earth of all accessible conductive parts within an electrical installation.
It could then be assumed that if a fault between the supply and earth developed, the resulting current flow would be of sufficient
magnitude to trip the short circuit protection device (SCPD), clearing the fault. This principle works reliably where the supply is
shorted directly to earth, but this is not always the case. Earth faults may develop where the resistance to current flow is
sufficient to limit the fault current to a level that will not trip the SCPD.

An example of this is in the case of human electrocution where the human body inadvertently becomes connected between the
supply and earth, due to the resistance of the human body the resultant fault current (earth leakage) flowing through the body is
insufficient to trip the SCPD and interrupt the supply, but sufficient to cause fatal injuries.

This situation can also occur within electrical installations and equipment where the age and/or normal wear and tear or
accumulation of dirt, dust or moisture around terminals causes a partial breakdown in insulation between supply and earth.

Once again, the resultant fault (earth leakage) current may not be of sufficient magnitude to trip the SCPD but could lead to
significant damage to property and equipment or even fires.

The answer
To increase the safety of the user, the core balance residual current device has emerged as a means of detecting very small
residual (earth leakage) currents. As a result, a high level of protection can now be offered while ensuring the principle of
operation remains simple and reliable.
Residual current devices monitor the current flowing in the active and neutral supply conductors which, under normal conditions,
should be balanced. The function of the device is to detect any imbalance (earth leakage) in the supply conductors. When the
imbalance exceeds the preset value of the residual current device the “tripping process” initiates to trip the controlling switch or
sends a signal to do so, resulting in the disconnection of the supply to the downstream circuit.

Selecting a device that is right for your application.

As per AS 3190 and AS/NZS 61008 and AS/NZS 61009 RCDS and relay can be classified as different types.

AS/NZS 61008 AS3190

AS/NZS 61009

Type 1 RCD's Type I RCD’s I∆n not exceeding 10 mA.

Type General RCD’s Type II RCD’s/Relays I∆n in excess of 10 mA but not exceeding 30 mA.
Type General RCD’s Type III RCD’s/Relays I∆n in excess 30 mA but not exceeding 300 mA without
selectivity tripping time delay characteristics.
Type S RCD’s Type IV S RCD’s/Relays I∆n in excess of 30 mA but not exceeding 300 mA with
selectivity tripping time delay characteristics.

As per AS 3190 a type I or type II device would be used for personal protection and a type III and type IV device for property or
equipment protection.
Due to the wide range of sophisticated adjustable earth leakage relays and circuit breaker RCBO or RCCB devices in the market
place today there is sometimes confusion on their correct application. It is necessary therefore to define the correct use of earth
leakage devices covering the areas of general industrial equipment protection, personnel protection and their use in applications,
such as mining. See the following page covering these different applications.

Earth leakage relay and circuit breaker based RCD device applications
1. Equipment Property Protection

RD3AF14 relay RD1EP214 relay TZSAD120240 relay

Terasaki Earth Leakage relays are suitable for earth fault protection of equipment and the limitation of touch voltages where
automatic disconnection of supply is required. Typically this is achieved by shunt tripping another protective device such as an
upstream circuit breaker.
Earth leakage relays are used in particular where ground (earth) fault detection is required or the Fault Loop Impedance is of such
a level that the over-current device (circuit breaker) does not achieve automatic disconnection within the times prescribed in the
Wiring Rules.

2. Personnel Protection

DSRCBH2030A DSRCB2030 DSRCD4030 SRCB1630

Earth leakage relays are NOT suitable for personnel protection against direct contact as specified in the Wiring Rules, e.g. for
socket outlets and lighting circuits. For these applications an RCD (10 mA or 30 mA) must comply with the relevant standards
(AS 3190, AS/NZS 61008 or AS/NZS 61009) and be approved by the relevant authorities. Earth leakage relays are not designed to
meet the requirements of this approval. For personnel protection Safe-T and Din-T devices such as the ELR relay, SRCB,
SAFE-TRCB6, DSRCD, DSRCB, DSRCM & DSRCBH are all suitable. These are approved devices and meet the relevant standards.

3. Mining Protection

DSRM72110 DSR48TD110 ELB250A

The DSRM72 earth leakage relay when used with test device DSR48TD are suitable for mining applications, as governed by
AS 2081.3:2002 - Electrical Equipment for coal and shale mines, Part 3: ‘Earth Leakage protection for use on earth-fault current
limited systems (IT systems). Other earth leakage relays may be used on mining applications but not specifically in coal or shale
mines as they are not designed to comply with certain technical requirements of the above mining standard.

Other earth leakage devices that can be used in coal and shale mines and other mines are the MCCB add-on blocks ELB125,
ELB250, and ELB250AH. Circuit breaker based 10 mA and 30 mA RCD devices do not need to comply with AS 2081.3:2002 as
this standard accepts devices that meet the personnel protection standards: AS 3190, AS/NZS 61008 or AS/NZS 61009. As such,
the following Safe-T and Din-T devices are suitable: ELR relay, SRCB, SAFE-TRCB6, DSRCD, DSRCB, DSRCM and DSRCBH.

Specifier’s checklist
It is almost impossible to ascribe ideal parameters by which a system and or equipment must be chosen for different applications
since these must be set on a case by case basis. It is unwise to even generalise. However, there are some key parameters which
must be considered.

Current ratings
Equipment to be protected may have a load current from 1 amp up to 2000 amps.

Residual current sensitivity

This could range from 30 mA to 30 amps depending on the application whether it be personnel, property or equipment
protection.

Numbers of phases to be protected

One to three phases with or without neutral can be protected depending on the system requirements.

Overcurrent and short circuit protection

Protection could be provided to individual sub-circuits by using a combined MCB/RCD from NHP’s Din-Safe or Safe-T range of
products. Or the earth leakage relay can be backed up by one of NHP’s extensive range of circuit breakers or a fuse from the
NHP Compact fuse range.

Speed of operation
Standards are set for the maximum tripping times as per the table below based on Australian Standards AS 3190.

• Settings chosen will be in accordance with system requirements.

RCD type I II III IV

>10, ≤ 30 mA >30, ≤ 300 mA >30, ≤ 300 mA
Sensitivity/n ≤ 10 mA
Test current Maximum tripping time, ms Tripping time, ms

RCD Relay RCD Relay Min. Max.

100 % I∆n +3 -0 % 40 ms 300 250 300 250 130 500
200 % I∆n ±5 % 40 ms 150 100 150 100 60 200
500 % I∆n ±5 % 40 ms 40 25 40 25 50 150

Domestic
Domestic premises have a wide variety of circuits to consider, these include lights, power points, stove, hot water systems and
out buildings. Power points being of prime importance as all portable and fixed domestic appliances are generally fed from a
GPO and therefore pose the greatest risk of electrocution. In this application, the ideal installation should be as follows: Fed
directly from main switch, stove and out buildings. A safety switch 2 pole (40 A) 30 mA is used to protect lighting and another
one to protect power circuits. This safety switch is used for protection of personnel. Alternatively each power circuit in the
installation can be protected by a residual current circuit breaker Din-Safe MCB. These devices combine the function of a ‘short’
circuit protective device with an earth leakage device. If required, a 2 pole 80 amp 100 mA safety switch could be used as a main
switch in conjunction with the above individual circuit protection to provide protection against fire and equipment damage to the
entire installation. However, it should be noted, an earth fault on a single protected circuit may still result in power interruption to
the entire installation (no discrimination). If discrimination is required, a type S (selective) safety switch could be used as a main
switch.
Note: Residual current devices for use in domestic applications for the purpose of personal protection as per AS 3000 are
required to be an approved device complying to AS 3190, AS/NZS 3175 or AS/NZS 61009.1 (Din-Safety switches, Din-Safe
MCB), for more information on these please refer NHP Price list catalogue CPB section 1 and other NHP earth leakage catalogues.

Commercial
Commercial applications in general utilise the residual current circuit breaker Din-Safe MCB giving 30 mA, providing protection to
every circuit individually if desired. To offer added protection against fire and property damage a main switch could consist of
either a Din-Safety Switch with a protective threshold 100-300 mA or an earth leakage relay with a 100-300 mA protective
threshold, connected to a main circuit breaker via a shunt trip.
Note: Residual current devices, Din-Safe MCBs and Din-Safety Switches for use in commercial applications can be found in the
NHP Price list catalogue CPB section 1 and NHP earth leakage catalogues.

Industrial
The industrial area is where the earth leakage relay provides the ultimate solution. The relay combined with the toroid capable of
monitoring the supply conductors can be separately mounted within the confines of the switchboard. The residual current
threshold and tripping delay is generally adjustable thus allowing an earth protection cascade system to be utilised. Earth leakage
relays have other features such as test and reset, alarm settings and continuous digital indication for the residual current value
which are more suitable to industrial applications. Each earth leakage relay must be used in conjunction with a circuit breaker of
appropriate size and rating. Toroids are also available in different sizes to allow system current ratings up to 2000 amps. Residual
currents and tripping times are normally adjustable between 30 mA and 30 amps and 0 and 5 seconds.

Mining
The mining sector has very stringent regulations (AS/NZS 2081.3:2002) on earth leakage protection due to the harsh and
dangerous environments that exist. To meet these stringent standards a separate relay (DSRM72) and test device (DSR48TD) is
required. An important feature of the mining relay is that they use a latching mechanism that doesn’t rely on supply voltage. The
relay, test device combined with the toroid capable of monitoring the supply conductors can all be separately mounted within the
confines of the switchboard. Each earth leakage relay must be used in conjunction with a circuit breaker of appropriate size and
rating. Toroids are also available in different sizes to allow system current ratings up to 1800 amps. Residual currents and tripping
times are adjustable between 30 mA and 500 mA and 0.05 and 5 seconds.

Voltage rating and frequency

Depending on the system, single phase 110, 240 volt or three phase 415 volts/50 Hz or 60 Hz.

Mounting
Generally, earth leakage relays are only available in panel mounting types but NHP’s range of earth leakage relays offer the choice
between surface mount, DIN rail mount and panel mounting types. Panel mounting types are available in 48 x 48 mm, 72 x 72 mm
and 96 x 96 mm.

Accessories
Accessories such as the shunt trip, under voltage trip, auxiliary switch, alarm switch that may be required must be considered.
Generally, only MCBs, MCBs and safety switches can have a combination of these accessories added. Relays do not have these
facilities available. In all, NHP has the solution for personnel, property and equipment protection in all areas - domestic,
commercial and industrial. Together with technical back-up and stock locations in every state, NHP is ready to provide your earth
leakage solution.

Installation recommendations

Installation recommendations to maintain accuracy:

A) Preferably the connection should be made with shielded cable; this is very important when high-sensitivity residual
current relays ( I∆n <=0.1 A) are used. In case a shielded cable cannot be used, use twisted pair conductors to connect
the current transformer to the residual current relay.
B) Attention must be paid to the distance between the ring transformer and residual current relay so it is as short as
possible, the maximum distance allowed between relay and toroid is five (5) metres.
C) Ensure maximum segregation from power conductors or other devices that may induce noise on the system.
Do not mount the toroid near equipment that produces magnetic fields (contactor coils, transformers and large cables)
as it may interfere with the toroid.
D) Select the smallest internal diameter current transformer that will allow the cable to fit. If using a large toroid try to keep
the cable as close to the centre of the toroid as possible.
E) Only use approved toroids recommended by the supplier otherwise nuisance tripping may occur or even worse
equipment failure.
F) It is recommended not to bring cable back past the toroid within one diameter of the toroid.
G) The system will operate more accurately if a single set of cables are used rather than running several in parallel.

How does earth leakage relay function?

The earth leakage relay consists of two distinct components a ring current transformer (toroid) and an amplifier relay. The TD ring
current transformer is equipped with a single galvanically-insulated measurement winding. The active line conductors cross
through the ring transformer, generating a magnetic field proportional to its current. In a normal situation the vector sum of the
currents (and relevant magnetic fluxes) is zero, even with unbalanced 3 phase loads.
A leakage current ( I∆n) towards earth on one or more conductors downstream from the ring current transformer causes an
imbalance in the vector sum proportional to the leakage current. The imbalance is detected by the measurement winding and
sent to the amplifier relay. The amplifier relay receives the signal from the ring current transformer and compares it with the
preset threshold value; the relay output is turned ON in the case where the detected value is higher than the preset threshold
and lasts for a longer time than the preset tripping time value. The output remains in the ON state until the relay is reset, either
manually or electrically.

Typical earth leakage relay installation

Test
The earth leakage relay is equipped with a test circuit (TEST) to check the operation of earth leakage relays and ring current
transformers, giving a full guarantee against connection errors and allowing the diagnosis of possible faults. Manual test:
Pressing the test button injects a test current into the sensing circuit of the relay that excites the output relay, thereby checking
the correct function of the relay.

TEST button

Selectivity
In complex and articulated plants, the installation of only one earth leakage relay at the point of distribution is not advisable as a
fault on one circuit interrupts the power to the whole installation. The use of only one earth leakage relay on a wide network
could cause tripping due to the sum of all the leakage currents always present in a plant. To prevent this problem it is necessary
to create vertical selectivity. Mounting an earth leakage relay on each distribution line that, appropriately calibrated, (that is with
an intervention threshold and time delay lower than the next highest) allows the plant to be divided into zones and guarantees
that the earth leakage relay placed downstream intervenes before those placed upstream.

set point (I∆n).

Manual reset setting:

Manual reset: Requires manually pressing the reset button on the front face of the relay to reset the output relay.
On some models this can be done remotely by pressing a push button closing terminals 4 and 6.

Automatic reset setting:

Automatic reset: Will automatically try to reset the relay 3 times, once every 60 seconds. In this setting the relay can also be
reset as per the manual setting.

Manual reset setting Automatic reset setting

Manual test:
Manual test: The relay can be manual tested by pressing the test button on the front face of the relay. On some models this can
be done remotely by pressing a push button which closes terminals 1 and 3. The remote test function doesn’t work on DC aux
supply models.

Selectable pre-trip alarm/ trip contact:

Failsafe setting - Positive security (Ne):

The output relay is normally in the energised state and de-energises in the case of an earth leakage current exceeding the preset
threshold (In). The normally energised relay will also de-energise in the case where the protection features are disabled, i.e. the
auxiliary power supply is removed or the connection between the relay and ring current transformer is broken.

Non-Failsafe setting - Negative security (Nd):

The output relay is normally in the de-energised state and energises in the case of an earth leakage current exceeding the preset
threshold (In).

Positive / negative field selectable:

The relay is factory supplied in the negative security mode and can be simply changed to positive security by switching a dip
switch on the front of the unit.

Positive security setting Negative security setting

Integral test (2 wires):

Manual test: Pressing the test button injects a test current into the sensing circuit of the relay that excites the output relay,
thereby checking the correct function of the relay. Continuous automatic test: A small signal is continuously injected on the
measurement winding. In the case of a faulty connection between the ring current transformer and the relay, the output relay is
excited, thereby continuously monitoring the status of the connection between the ring current transformer and the relay. The
test winding is redundant in this system.

Integral test (4 wires):

Manual test: Pressing the test button injects a test current into the test winding. A corresponding current flows in the
measurement winding that excites the output relay. Continuous automatic test: A small signal is continuously injected on the test
winding and the corresponding signal sensed by the measurement winding is continuously monitored. In case of a faulty

Application
When connected with residual current relays it allows detection of leakage currents towards earth caused by insulation
breakdown on electrical equipment.
Working principle
Supply conductors cross the toroid creating a magnetic field proportional load current flow. The vector sum of the
currents (and relevant magnetic fluxes) is zero, even when an imbalanced 3 phase loud is experienced. A leakage
towards earth on one or more conductors after the toroid causes an imbalance in the vector sum, with a value
proportional to the leakage current. This imbalance is detected by the toroid and sent to the residual current relay.
Choice of transformer
A suitable toroid shall be selected according to lowest value of residual current to be detected and the hole diameter
through which shall pass all the active conductors and neutral (where applicable) of the system to be protected.
Models
Ring current transformer - relay connection
Preferably the connection should be made with shielded cable; this is very important when high-sensitivity residual current
relays (In 0.1 A) are used. Attention must be paid to the distance between the ring transformer and residual current relay so
as to be as short as possible and ensure maximum segregation from power conductors to connect the current transformer
to the residual current relay. The maximum distance allowed between relay and toroid is five (5) metres.
Specifications
Primary/secondary measuring ratio: 1/700
Primary circuit: supply conductors to be protected that pass through toroid hole.
Maximum voltage of primary circuit: 1000 V
In maximum: (In lowest value that can be set on the earth leakage relay connected with the toroid): (see table above).
I maximum: highest permanent working current: (values in above table are valid only for conductors passing exactly in
the middle of the toroid).
Ith short circuit thermal current: 20 kA/1 sec
Idyn dynamic current: 40 kA/0.05 sec

Twist at least 40 times a meter the wires between ZCT output terminals (k, l) and earth leakage
relay terminals Z1, Z2.
The length of these wires should be 3 m or less for 30 mA, 5 m or less for 100 or 300 mA and
10 m or less for 500 or 1000 mA.
Do not conduct the dielectric withstand voltage tests and insulation resistance tests between
individual terminals.
When measuring the insulation resistance, use a 500 V megger.
