摘要:
A method (144) for locating a ground fault in an electrical power distribution system (12) includes providing a plurality of current sensors (14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22) at a plurality of locations in the electrical power distribution system (12). The method (144) further includes detecting a ground fault in the electrical power distribution system (12). Current is monitored at a plurality of locations in the electrical power distribution system (12) via the current sensors (14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22) and a test signal is introduced into the electrical power distribution system (12) via a test signal generating device (44). The plurality of locations are monitored (62) to locate the ground fault between a location at which the test signal is detected and a downstream location at which the test signal is not detected.
