Mechanichal Relay Gound Fault Sensors

Applications

Personnel Protection (typically 5mA) Senses low fault currents and alarms to shut power before injury occurs.

Equipment Protection (typically 30mA) When personal protection is not an issue, select a higher setpoint to protect equipment or product.

Regulatory Approval

Meet requirements by industry groups and governments for Ground Fault Protection.

Ground Fault Sensor Circuit Example

Features

Dimensions

Broad Range of Options to Match Application Needs:

— Choice of NO/NC solid-state switch and mechanical relay outputs.

— Normally energized or normally de-energized contacts.

— Latching outputs for controlling contactors; auto-reset option for control of shunt trip breakers.

— Noise-immune option for use in EMI/RFI sensitive environments.

Setpoint Options Maximize Ease-of-Use:

— Field-selectable 5mA, 10mA or 30mA setpoints (AG3 “Tri-set” model only) makes user-adjustable setpoint fast and convenient.

— Single, factory-adjusted setpoint can be fixed from 5mA to 950mA when ordering.

Compatible with Standard Equipment

— Applicable on most 1Φ and 3Φ systems.

— Ideal for use with shunt trip breakers or contactors.

— Magnetically isolated from monitored circuit and control power.

Agency Approved

UL, CUL and CE acceptance worldwide.

Normally Energized Models (–ENE Option)

Protection from faults

and loss of control power

                                     Control Power Applied

                  No Power             No Fault             Fault

N.C.             Closed                  OPEN              Closed

N.O.             OPEN                  Closed              OPEN

Normally De-energized Models (–DEN Option)

Protection from faults only when control power is applied

                                     Control Power Applied

                  No Power              No Fault              Fault

N.C.             Closed                 CLOSED            OPEN

N.O.              OPEN                  OPEN              Closed

Latching Models (-LA Option)

Latching models initially power up in the Reset (Normal) position. If there is a fault or the test button is pressed, the output switches and is latched. The output will

remain latched after the fault is cleared, even if control power is removed. To reset the output, apply a momentary contact across the “Reset” terminals (5-6).
