Littelfuse Protection Relay Technical Note-Ground Check:GC-13 : SPLITTER-BOX DUAL-CABLE MONITORING WITH AN SE-135

2021-11-09
●An SE-135 Ground-Fault Ground-Check Monitor can protect the cables entering and leaving a dual-cable splitter box (junction box), when one is terminated with an SE-TA24A and the other with an SE-TA24B Termination Assembly. The SE-MUX was previously used to monitor two ground-check circuits by sampling each ground-check circuit every half second. As a result, ground-check trip times were increased by up to a half second. The improved method provides continuous monitoring of both ground-check circuits; therefore ground-check trip times are not increased, and the complexity of splitter boxes is reduced. Littelfuse recommends replacing the SE-MUX in splitter-box applications with an SE-TA24A and an SE-TA24B, as shown in Fig. 1.
●When an SE-TA24A and an SE-TA24B are used as a set, the parallel combination has the 12-V Zener characteristic required by the SE-135 as a valid ground-check-loop termination. An open or short in the ground-check loop of either cable will result in an SE-135 ground-check trip; no indication is provided of which cable is faulted.
●To be able to energize either single cable independently, a live-end cover fitted with an SE-TA24A or an SE-TA24B, as required, must be available at the splitter box.
