🔍 Key Concepts

• Three-phase ground detection circuits and how ground detector lamps are wired (usually in a wye connection to the three phases with a common point through a resistor to ground) • What happens to lamp brightness when one phase is grounded versus when no phase is grounded • Difference between an actual electrical fault and a problem with the test switch or lamp voltage

💭 Think About

• Think about what the lamps are comparing: Are they indicating voltage between phases and ground, or just between the three phases themselves? • If one phase becomes grounded, how would that change the voltage distribution across the three lamps—would you expect one lamp to get brighter, dimmer, or stay the same? • If all three lamps stay at exactly the same half-bright condition when you operate the test switch, what does that suggest about the symmetry of the three-phase system relative to ground?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you understand what the normal indication (no ground fault) looks like on a three-lamp ground detector system • Consider whether a slight ground on all three phases is realistic, and what kind of indication it would produce on three lamps fed from each phase • Before ruling out grounds, check whether a faulty switch or wrong bulb voltage would be likely to leave all three lamps at equal half-brightness when tested
