The CurrentWatch EGF Series from Eaton's electrical business is a family of ground fault (earth leakage) sensors. Ground fault sensors help protect people, products and processes from damage by ground fault conditions by monitoring all current‑carrying conductors in ground single‑ and three‑phase delta or wye sysetms. The EGF Series is available with either solid‑state or mechanical relay outputs.
The EGF Series with solid‑state outputs offers the benefits of reliable, long‑lasting solid‑state switches. Solid‑state design provides unlimited switch operating life, superior resistance to shock and vibration, zero off‑state leakage, high switch speeds and high input‑output isolations. Solid‑state outputs have solid‑core housings with screw terminals.
The EGF Series with mechanical relay outputs are available in solid‑core housings with a choice of N.O. or N.C. SPST latching relays and a SPDT Form C relay with auto‑reset. All mechanical models can be ordered with a fixed setpoint or with a "tri‑set" option, which provides three factor‑set, field‑adjustable setpoints.
Typical Applications
- Personnel Protection‑ Detects sensitive ground fault conditions, which could cause injury to people, and functions as a sensor and alarm trigger when applied as an input to an overall ground fault protection system.
- Equipment Protection‑ For applications where personnel protection is not the promary concern, higher setpoint capability helps eliminate nuisance tripping while still providing adequate ground fault detection to protect machine electronics.
- Regulatory‑ Meets requirements as stipulated by governmental and industrial regulatory groups for ground fault sensing.
