Within any power-distribution system, the possibilities for ground faults to occur are virtually endless. Ungrounded Power Systems have a unique challenge—no measurable ground-fault current to assist in fault location. Imagine a simple solution capable of automatically identifying which circuit on an ungrounded system has a ground fault. Bender engineers have developed a solution capable of identifying which circuits contribute to a ground fault on an ungrounded power system. Our fully automated and online ground-fault location systems (EDS Series) are designed to reduce downtime and provide efficient troubleshooting, resulting in potential facilities savings of thousands of dollars per year.
What exactly is EDS technology?
This technology offers automatic identification of which circuit in an electrical system has a ground fault, thereby eliminating the need to manually “hunt” for the fault location, while allowing the power system to remain online. The EDS series fault location modules apply to a wide range of industrial and commercial applications including oil and gas, mining, ships and ports, and in hospital operating rooms.
While there are endless real-world applications, some recommended configurations are as follows:
