Ground Fault Protection

Undetected ground faults can expose personnel to lethal current. National and international standards now require that all electrical installations provide a means to protect equipment operators from ground faults.

An effective solution to this problem is to install a ground fault sensor on the power lead. The device's output signal can then be integrated with your control system or power-interrupting device. This protects personnel working with electric loads, such as:

  • Electric heat tape
  • Immersion heaters
  • Production tools and equipment
NK Technologies' ground fault sensors provide an isolated solid-state outputs or electromechanical relay contacts and offer exceptional sensitivity - down to 5 mA leakage. The same sensor can be applied to a single-phase 50 amp circuit or a 10,000 amp three-phase circuit.
