Applications

Circuit Breaker Input for Time-Trip Specific OEM Applications with Grounded Neutral

Continually senses for residual ground fault currents and provides solid-state SCR output for circuit breaker when fault current exceeds setpoint. When applied with appropriate circuit breaking devices, the RGCS serves as the sensing component of a GFCI system.

Theatrical, Carnival and Entertainment Industry

Applied on electrified equipment regularly in close proximity to personnel, such as those on stage and movie sets, RGCS senses leakage currents and signals when cumulative ground currents surpass safe levels. Can be coupled to alarm indicators or circuit interruption devices.

Portable Power Generation and Distribution

Enables end-users to detect or monitor leakage current in branch circuits, triggering a breaker to interrupt power in faulty branch without having to disconnect the main.

Industrial, Pool, Spa, and Fountain Applications

Monitors ground current for pool, spa, fountain and other industrial equipment located in the vicinity of water or damp conditions. Provides ground fault detection and output to circuit breaker for GFCI applications.

Features

15 mS Sensor Response Time

Exceeds response times specified by UL 943, allows

more time for the circuit breaker to meet required

time-trip performance.

Factory Calibrated Trip Point

Setpoint is factory adjusted from 6mA to 30mA,

ensuring proper setpoint operation up to UL 943

Class A or B performance standards. Factory calibration

eliminates potential for undesired field modifications.

Industrial Grade Performance

0-100A input range offers application flexibility for use

on industrial systems or larger installations. Sensors offer

constant hysteresis and linear response characteristic

for enhanced accuracy to setpoint. Integral "Zero-Sum"

CT allows for quick and easy one-piece installation.

Industrial Grade Performance

Constant hysteresis and linear response characteristic

enhance accuracy to setpoint.
