<strong>Ground</strong> <strong>Fault</strong> Location for Ungrounded Systems<br />
BENDER‘s complete ground fault location<br />
system helps increase the reliability of<br />
your system, reduce costs, <strong>and</strong> create predictive<br />
maintenance by locating ground<br />
faults quickly <strong>and</strong> easily. The EDS series<br />
extends the capabilities of the IRDH575<br />
ground detector to not only know that<br />
there is a problem, but to find it as well.<br />
EDS series location modules assist in<br />
automating the process of finding faults<br />
by connecting to subfeeders or loads<br />
<strong>and</strong> providing notification when a fault<br />
has been located. Remote indicators also<br />
work in conjunction with this system to<br />
notify nurse <strong>and</strong> technical stations quickly<br />
when a problem has occured. Remote<br />
communication solutions allow personnel<br />
in main stations to know when a problem<br />
has occured in real-time.<br />
Advantages of ground fault location with the EDS series<br />
Improved economic<br />
efficiency<br />
n Time <strong>and</strong> costs for maintenance<br />
are re duced<br />
n Weak points in the installation<br />
are recognized<br />
Insulation fault location with communication via FTC470<br />
Optimized maintenance<br />
n <strong>Ground</strong> fault location<br />
without disconnecting<br />
the electrical installation<br />
n Selective fault location by<br />
fast <strong>and</strong> precise localization<br />
of the faulty subcircuit<br />
n Centralized indication<br />
<strong>and</strong> operation with LCD<br />
display<br />
n Reduced maintenance<br />
costs<br />
Increased operating<br />
reliability<br />
n Electrical installations<br />
are kept at a high level of<br />
availability<br />
n Interruptions to systems<br />
on a single fault condition<br />
are avoided<br />
n More comfort for passengers<br />
<strong>and</strong> crew<br />
Flexible <strong>and</strong> configurable<br />
solutions<br />
n Cost-effective construction<br />
with modular system<br />
components<br />
n Current transformers are<br />
available in different sizes<br />
<strong>and</strong> shapes (round, rectangular<br />
<strong>and</strong> split core)
