5 FAQ’s about Earthing Fault Theory

Electrical Earthing Fault Theory

This video should give you an idea of what we do and how the earthing fault theory works.

  1. How does fault theory work?
  2. Why is it necessary to model/simulate my scheme?
  3. What’s the latest standard I need to work to?
  4. How does simulation help?
  5. Is my scheme or current setup ‘vulnerable’?

This Earthing Fault Theory video will go some way to answering the first question, and we will be covering the other questions over time, but if you need answers now, why not click this link and schedule in a free 30 minute consultation …

I recently attended a training session with Omicron in Germany, looking at their primary injection test set for earth electrode and line impedance testing. We looked at how to set up a current injection, potentially up to 100 A, down an Overhead line or Feeder cable to achieve good separation between the electrode under test […]

winter scene

Here’s a slight departure from the usual technical blog – so, the holiday’s are a distant memory, yet, the scene outside my window right now looks like something out of “A Christmas Carol”, by Charles Dickens. This time of year is a strange one for us; both December and January are truncated by the holidays […]

Firstly I’d like to take this opportunity to wish our Clients, friends, students and Blog subscribers SEASONAL GREETINGS and a very prosperous New Year.
