Introduction

Earth Leakage Detector is an aid for monitoring the earth faults in signaling cables and circuits which increases the efficiency and reliability of Signaling system.

The arrangement of the system comprises of 4 channels, for use on signaling circuits of 110V AC/DC and/ or 60V/24V/12V DC as per the requirement.

For less number of channels, dummy plates will be provided similarly for additional requirement add on/ expandable cabinet may be provided. The voltage specified will be provided with + 25% and - 10% tolerance.

Applications

  • Electrified Railway Systems: Earth Leakage Detectors are crucial for monitoring electrical integrity in electrified railway systems, detecting current leakage to the ground, signaling potential faults in overhead lines or traction substations.
  • Safety for Trackside Personnel: Earth Leakage Detectors enhance safety for trackside personnel by promptly identifying current leakage near electrified railway lines, triggering alarms and isolating affected track sections to prevent accidents.
  • Protection of Signaling and Control Systems: Earth Leakage Detectors protect railway signaling and control systems from ground faults, ensuring reliable operation by monitoring electrical integrity and preventing disruptions to signaling, interlocking, and communication between control centers and trains.
  • Prevention of Trackside Fires: Earth Leakage Detectors are crucial for preventing trackside fires by swiftly identifying current leakage, signaling potential faults, and triggering shutdowns or alerts to mitigate risks, safeguarding railway infrastructure and adjacent properties.
  • Ensuring Passenger Safety: Earth Leakage Detectors ensure passenger safety by monitoring train and station electrical systems, swiftly detecting ground faults to prevent hazards, enabling timely intervention to protect passengers and staff during railway operations.
  • Maintenance and Fault Diagnosis: Earth Leakage Detectors offer crucial maintenance data in railway electrification systems, monitoring insulation resistance and leakage currents to identify issues early, enabling proactive maintenance and minimizing downtime for track repairs and equipment replacement.
