The failures in electrical circuits are normally caused by poor installation methods, deterioration of the wiring or by the lack of maintenance of the circuits and equipment among others, causing that the same deterioration makes the equipment or installations fail provoking faults in the electrical installation.
To detect these electrical faults in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to have the appropriate knowledge with the appropriate learning time, acquiring the necessary attitudes and skills to find and solve any type of electrical fault, otherwise it is possible that the localization of the fault may take in some cases more than expected.
In electricity power system, a fault or fault current is any unusual electrical current. For instance, a short circuit is a fault where a live wire touches a neutral or earth wire. An open circuit fault occurs when a circuit is interrupted by the failure of a current-carrying wire (phase or neutral) or by a blown fuse or circuit breaker. In three-phase systems, a fault may affect one or more phases and earth, or it may occur only between phases.
In an “earth fault” or “ground fault”, current flows to earth. The expected short-circuit current of a predictable fault can be estimated for the majority of situations. In electrical systems, protective devices can detect fault conditions and trip circuit breakers and other devices to limit the loss of service due to a fault.
Designing systems to detect and interrupt power system faults is the main objective of power system protection.
