Ground-fault detection in unbalanced systems
The neutral conductor current is measured directly and in the case of 3-pole molded case
circuit breakers only for the ground-fault protection, but in the case of 4-pole circuit breakers
the neutral conductor current is also evaluated for the neutral conductor protection.
The trip unit calculates the ground-fault current using the three phase currents and the
neutral conductor current for the vectorial summation.
