Earth Leakage Monitor
Earth Leakage Monitor is one important device used in DC power systems like battery chargers AC-DC
converter systems, DC-DC converter systems and DCDBs. Where an independent DC power source is
used, the connections between transducers, control units and DC power source are very important.
Monitoring and signalling of earth faults is essential in these situations, HBL ELM enables quick
detection of earth faults so prompt corrective action can be taken.

HBL make ELM (Earth Leakage Monitor)
works on the residual or differential magnetising
current induced in a current transformer.
The two current carrying conductors (positive
and negative) are passed through a ring type
current transformer. Under normal conditions
there is no residual current in the CT as the
current flow in the two conductors is in opposite
direction.
In the event of earth-fault the current flowing
through the conductors will be different and this
difference gives rise to a residual / magnetizing
Current in the CT. The CT forms a part of
magnetic oscillator which would oscillate
symmetrically when there is no magnetizing
current in core.
‘The magnetizing current which is proportional to
the fault leakage current is sensed and used to
drive an LED and a relay through a comparator
for local and remote (potential free contacts)
annunciation.
‘The ELM is provided with a test button which can
be used to check the correct functioning of the
device during operation. HBLTechnical Specifications
