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. F eatures■ 15 mS Sensor Response TimeExceeds response times specified by UL 943, allows more time for the circuit breaker to meet required time-trip performance. ■ Factory Calibrated Trip PointSetpoint 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 Performance0-100A 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 PerformanceConstant hysteresis and linear response characteristic enhance accuracy to setpoint. Specifications Power Supply 120VAC or 240VAC Output Solid State AC Switch; Isolated Dry Contact Output Rating 1A@240VAC Trip Point Range 6 - 30 mA, Factory Set Response Time 15-25 ms Tolerance +/- 1% Input Range 0-100A Offstate Leakage None Hysteresis 5% (Constant) Isolation Voltage 1,250 VAC Frequency Range 60 Hz Case UL 94 V-O Flammability Rated Environmental-4 to 122°F (–20 to 50°C), 0-95% RH, non-condensing Sensing Aperture 0.75" (19.1mm) diameterAgency Approvals* Must be submitted for UL 943 approval with appropriate customer-supplied circuit breaker. RGCS Sensors are intended to serve as a component of a GFCI system and, as such, are not UL approved. Please consult with factory.
