Construction and Testing of Earthing Fault System Monitor for Industrial Appliance Control:- Okeh, Nnaemeka D.

ABSTRACT

The world is ageing, technology is improving and knowledge is increasing. In the developed countries of the world, proper earthing system measure are implemented for the safety of life and properties; while in developing countries like ours, faulty earthing system is high; with the risk of great destruction. For this, construction of earthing fault system monitor is highly needed in our industrial appliances to control and totally eliminate the earth fault system problem, control leakage of current from machine; avoiding electrocution while in contact with the machine’s body, trip off the supply of current to the faulted machines, indication of fault and its occurrence area; and successfully, continue its operation when fault is corrected. This is mainly designed for industrial purpose but can still be built into household, school and hospital equipment or machines.
