hi there
welcome to PF

would you like to elaborate a bit please the question is a bit vague

are you dealing with DC or AC systems ? or both?
hi or low voltage ?

Dave
 
hello Dave,
I'm dealing with AC systems for now. high voltage
would like to hear from you soon

abimcdssi, I welcome you here, also! There are several processes here...detecting a fault, isolating a fault, building redundancy to protect critical loads, and, of course, determining the root cause of the fault. I think all this is under the heading of "fault analysis". So, will you please describe your issue in more detail? Say exactly what you are trying to do, please.
Bobbywhyedit: Have you read this technical paper?

Here's a company that seems to do what you are asking about:

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
