I'm having a "brain fart" moment..
I have 2 pretty big industrial 3 phase jet washer - one 63 amps and one 88 amps per phase (different companies/buildings)
Basically a giant water heater (with numerous heater elements) and a pump.
Water heater so needs earth leakage - both units 3 phase and earth balance load so no neutral.
Basic understanding of earth leakage is that it references to neutral - picks up imbalance between current in and current out on neutral.
The 88 amp unit I ran a 25mm SWA to an IP rated 4 pole isolator (so there is neutral in the cable) from there in 4 core Ho7 with the earth leakage at the DB.
The 63amp there is an existing supply which is a 63 amp redundant welding socket but no neutral at that point. I can still put the Earth leaked at the DB end.
I saw the 88 amp unit does have 220v inside derived from a transformer in the unit which I also saw the neutral side was connected to the earth of the unit.
Are there any specific considerations for these to situations.
Balanced loads on 3 phase earth leakage with no neutral going to the unit?
Thanks
