My project is to make a protection unit that guard a three phase induction motor. It includes a earth fault relay but I don't have any idea about it. if someone know about three phase earth fault detector just three phase ah no any neutral includes to it plz help me.

I recently worked on an electric pressure washer for a friend. The motor wasn't 3-phase but the ground fault protection was simply a relay built into the large plug. I'm guessing you'd want one relay that would trip when a ground fault was detected on any phase.

A three phase ground fault detector works just like a single phase unit. All conductors that are supposed to be current carrying go through the sense coil. Any ground fault causes the sense coil to output a voltage which causes the trip condition.
