DC Ground Fault Locators

GAO’s DC ground fault locators are devices used to locate ground faults in DC electrical systems. A ground fault is an unintentional electrical connection between a conductor and ground, and can occur when an insulation failure or other fault allows current to flow from a DC circuit to ground.

GAO’s DC ground fault locators are composed of sensing device, monitoring device, current source, grounding test, and alarm system.

A DC ground fault locator is also known as DC ground fault detector, DC ground fault tracer, DC ground fault finder, ground fault locator for DC systems, DC earth fault locator, DC leakage current locator, DC insulation fault locator, DC ground fault tester, DC ground fault identifier, DC ground fault tracker, DC ground fault pinpointer, DC ground fault mapper, DC ground fault sniffer, DC ground fault detector and locator and DC ground fault isolation tool.

GAO Tek’s DC ground fault locators have the following functions:

  • Detection: The primary function of our DC ground fault locator is to detect the presence of ground faults in DC electrical systems.
  • Location: Once a ground fault has been detected, the GAO’s ground fault locator is used to determine the location of the fault within the system.
  • Severity Assessment: GAO’s DC ground fault locator can also provide an indication of the severity of the fault, allowing operators to prioritize and plan for repairs.
  • Minimize Downtime: By quickly and accurately locating ground faults, our DC ground fault locator can help to minimize downtime and prevent damage to equipment and infrastructure.
  • Prevent Accidents: Ground faults can be a safety hazard, and our DC ground fault locator can help prevent accidents by identifying and addressing faults before they cause harm.
  • Maintenance Planning: Data logging capabilities of GAO’s DC ground fault locator can provide insight into the frequency and severity of ground faults, helping to plan maintenance and repairs to prevent future faults.
