    The Multi-Amp Battery Ground-Fault Locator (BGL) allows users to locate ground faults on live battery systems. It features automatic operation and can detect and track multiple faults without sectionalizing. The BGL injects a low-amplitude 25 Hertz test signal and uses clamp-on sensor probes to track the signal and locate faults. It operates on battery systems up to 260 volts and can measure resistance from 1 ohm to 100 kilohms and system capacitance from 1 to 100 microfarads.

    Battery Ground-Fault Locator


    DESCRIPTION
    The Multi-Amp Battery Ground-Fault
    Locator (BGL) simplifies the tracking of
    ground faults on floating dc-powered
    control systems.
    It features automatic operation, can be
    used on live battery systems and has the
    unique capability of detecting, tracking
    and locating multiple faults on a battery
    system without having to resort to
    sectionalizing.
    This is accomplished by injecting a lowamplitude 25 Hertz test signal on either
    the positive or negative side of the
    power bus and tracking the signal with
    one of several available clamp-on
    sensor probes.
    A fault simulator also is provided with
    the instrument, allowing the periodic
    verification of the resistance and capacitance ranges of the BGL.
    APPLICATIONS
    The BGL allows tracking and locating of
    ground faults on live or dead battery
    systems. Its locating ability is only
    limited by the accessibility of the
    battery cable.
    The instrument can make measurements in the presence of dc current (up
    to 20 amperes) and ac ripple (charging
    current up to 0.5 ampere).
    The BGL is useful for locating grounds on
    any type of battery system, including
    those in refineries, mines and utilities
    as well as UPS and continuous process
    systems.

    AC-4 AVO-651 07.97

    The BGL operates on battery systems


    that are either floating or grounded
    through a resistor. Operators can determine
    both the direction and magnitude of faults,
    allowing them to ignore high-impedance
    faults and concentrate on serious faults.

    This method allows the instrument to


    effectively eliminate the effects of
    charging current due to capacitance on
    the battery system or surge suppression
    capacitors that may be installed on the
    system.

    The BGL is designed to work on battery


    systems up to 260 volts dc. The instrument
    even operates in the presence of surgesuppression capacitors, effectively ignoring
    them. It is only sensitive to the power
    dissipated in the grounding resistance,
    hence the resistive paths to ground.

    The wide dynamic range of the


    instrument allows the operator to
    simultaneously track two or more ground
    faults that may be different in value. The
    injected signal is low enough in
    amplitude that it should not interfere
    with the operation of relays, even of the
    sensitive variety, under normal operation.

    An additional feature of the BGL is its


    ability to measure battery system total
    capacitance to ground, or the capacitors of any branch of the system. This
    allows the operator to determine the
    maximum practical fault-resistance
    range and provides the user with information on the battery system.
    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    The instrument operates by injecting a
    25 Hertz signal between the battery
    system and the ground. The resulting
    current is tracked by a clamp-on current
    probe. The magnitude of the injected signal is
    only 3.5 volts and will not cause any interference with the operation of sensitive
    protective relays on the system.
    The instruments circuitry measures the
    25 Hertz power dissipated in the grounding
    resistance and calculates the value of
    the grounding resistance from knowledge
    of the applied voltage.
