ELECTRICAL MONITORING & PROTECTION

Earth Leakage Detection Units

Continuous monitoring for railway electrical systems.

Rowe Hankins Earth Leakage Detection Units monitor electrical circuits for current imbalances that may indicate an earth fault. By detecting residual current and providing fault indication, these units help identify potential insulation faults and support the investigation of electrical issues.

The range includes dedicated AC and DC solutions for railway and industrial applications. With product-specific detection characteristics and relay outputs, the units support integration into compatible electrical monitoring and control systems.

KEY FEATURES

Designed for reliable earth fault monitoring

AC and DC Solutions

Dedicated AC and DC earth leakage detection units, each with product-specific electrical ratings and detection characteristics.

Monitoring System Integration

Voltage-free relay outputs provide fault indication to compatible monitoring and control systems.

Railway-Compliant Design

Designed to meet relevant railway requirements for electrical equipment, electromagnetic compatability, shock and vibration.

Configurable Detection

The ACEL618 Series offers two independent detection channels, allowing warning and trip functions to be assigned to separate channels.

Continuous Monitoring

Monitor electrical circuits for earth fault conditions and provide an indication when specified detection criteria are met. 

Early Fault Detection

Identify current imbalances that may indicate earth leakage, helping the maintenance teams investigate potential faults.

Our product range

AC and DC earth leakage detection units

DC EARTH LEAKAGE UNIT

DCELU32714A

Designed to monitor DC electrical systems for earth fault conditions. The DCELU32714A detects current imbalance in monitored supply conductors and provides a latching relay indication when a fault is detected. The relay remains latched until the unit's power supply is cycled.

TECHNOLOGY

How earth leakage detection works

Detecting current imbalances to identify potential earth faults

Earth leakage detection units monitor electrical circuits for residual current or imbalances that may indicate an earth fault. When the specified detection criteria are met, the unit provides a fault indication through its relay outputs, allowing connected monitoring and control systems to respond. This helps maintenance teams identify potential insulation faults and investigate electrical issues before they lead to further disruption.
