SUMMARY:The Earth Fault That Didn’t Return to Earth
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam’s Electrifying Mysteries\nThis webinar series provides a structured examination of real-world engineering challenges. Each session will address specific\, technically focused topics relevant to professional engineers. \nWebinar details\nWhen an earth fault occurs\, but the current doesn’t seem to return through the expected path\, conventional wisdom fails. This webinar investigates the phenomenon of “floating” or unconventional earth faults in complex distribution networks. Participants will examine real case studies involving high-resistance grounding\, capacitive coupling\, and multiple earthing points that distort fault current paths. The session provides insights into detecting and resolving such anomalies using modern protection technologies and field diagnostics. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nUnderstand how non-standard earthing configurations influence fault current behaviour.\nExplore diagnostic tools and methods for identifying hidden or high-impedance earth faults.\nRecognize the impact of system capacitance and unbalanced grounding on fault detection.\nDevelop strategies for protection coordination in networks with complex earthing arrangements.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electrical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\n52892WA Advanced Diploma of Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering in Mining\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Circuit Breakers\, Switchgear & Power Transformers\nUET60222 Advanced Diploma of ESI – Power Systems (Australia & New Zealand Only)\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Power Distribution\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam is a supervisor of EIT’s Doctoral students.
