 hi everybody we have a 520kw dc motor (arm voltage 550v amps 1008) controlled by dc drive of siemens make. The incoming supply of this drive is through transformer 3.3kv/550v .the neutral is unearthed. can anyone suggest earth fault protection of motors and cables(dc /ac side). ram |

AC SIDE EF protection for unearthed sys is tough, Now a days high sensitive CBCT 's are used to detect earth faults in such systems which measure cable capacitive disc. currents to the fault. DC SIDE Ground fault sensing cards are available , but i do not know whether those can be applied for DC drives. |
