Finding & Protecting low level faults on Ungrounded Distribution Systems
Abstract:
Ungrounded systems, also known as IT or floating systems, offer many advantages over solidly grounded or resistance grounded systems. The biggest drawback is that is has been, historically, difficult to reliably detect and locate ground faults with the available technology. Modern technology has allowed for the advancement in not only detecting, but reliability locating faults on an ungrounded system in a fully automated fashion.
