Ground fault identification with iot enabled monitors

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for analysis, the computer program product comprising code which causes one or more processors to perform operations of:

• monitoring, by one or more industrial IoT electrical monitors (IIEMs), a plurality of nodes within an electrical distribution system, wherein the plurality of nodes is coupled to a common transformer, wherein a first IIEM within the one or more IIEMs is coupled to one or more nodes within the plurality of nodes, wherein at least one industrial device is coupled to the one or more nodes, and wherein the one or more IIEMs are coupled to an aggregation point;
• deciding, by the first IIEM, that a first power quality event (PQE) occurred, wherein the first PQE is associated with a first node within the one or more nodes, and wherein the deciding is based on the monitoring;
• sending, by the first IIEM, the first PQE to the aggregation point;
• and
• detecting a ground fault event, by the aggregation point, wherein the detecting is based on the first PQE that was sent, and wherein the detecting includes a location of a ground fault.

A computer system for analysis comprising:

• a memory which stores instructions;
• one or more processors attached to the memory, wherein the one or more processors, when executing the instructions which are stored, are configured to:
• monitor, by one or more industrial IoT electrical monitors (IIEMs), a plurality of nodes within an electrical distribution system, wherein the plurality of nodes is coupled to a common transformer, wherein a first IIEM within the one or more IIEMs is coupled to one or more nodes within the plurality of nodes, wherein at least one industrial device is coupled to the one or more nodes, and wherein the one or more IIEMs are coupled to an aggregation point;
• decide, by the first IIEM, that a first power quality event (PQE) occurred, wherein the first PQE is associated with a first node within the one or more nodes, and wherein the deciding is based on the monitoring;
• send, by the first IIEM, the first PQE to the aggregation point;
• and
• detect a ground fault event, by the aggregation point, wherein the detecting is based on the first PQE that was sent, and wherein the detecting includes a location of a ground fault.
