GFP Handout 0320 3/27/06 10:34 AM Page 1 TM Multi 9 GFP Ground Fault Protectors for Equipment Ground Fault Protection from 30 mA to 300 mA The Multi 9 GFP Ground Fault Protectors provide ground fault protection for electrical equipment, opening a circuit automatically upon detecting a ground fault or earth leakage greater than 30 mA, 100 mA or 300 mA, depending on the model. These GFPs operate without an auxiliary source of power supply. The GFP Ground Fault Protectors are available in three versions: � Two poles for 120 or 240 Vac � Two poles for 277 or 480Y/277 Vac � Four poles for 240 Vac to 480Y/277 Vac They can be used in 50 Hz or 60 Hz applications. Listed per UL 1053 Class 1 and certified to IEC 61008, they can be used in OEM 2-pole GFP equipment built for the U.S. or international markets. A red mechanical indicator on the front face shows when the GFP has been tripped due to a ground fault. In addition, a test button located on the front of GFP permits recommended periodic testing of the ground fault function. NOTE: The GFP Ground Fault Protectors have only one protective function – detection of ground faults or earth leakage current. There is no thermal or magnetic protection for overload or short circuit conditions. Therefore, the circuit must be protected by a recommended upstream circuit breaker such as the Multi 9 C60 or C120 miniature circuit breakers. Product Features 4-pole GFP (used for 3 or 4 wires) � Current ratings from 25 A to 100 A complement the Multi 9 C60 and C120 miniature circuit breaker range � Protects equipment at most voltages, including 120, 240, 277 and 480Y/277 Vac � Trips at maximum ground fault levels of 30 mA, 100 mA or 300 mA � Is designed for noise immunity, even in the industrial environment � Provides positive break indication via a red flag � Conforms to international standards, including UL 1053 and IEC 61008, and features the CE mark Benefits to the Equipment User � Protects equipment from damage due to ground faults and reduces downtime needed to repair equipment � Provides warning that preventive maintenance should be done to the equipment � Indirectly protects personnel from fires, malfunctioning equipment, etc. GFP Handout 0320 3/27/06 10:34 AM Page 2 Benefits for OEMs � Enables selection of appropriate sensitivity and amperage to provide maximum protection with minimal risk of nuisance tripping � Qualifies equipment for international sales (where ground fault protection is often mandatory) Super-Immunized (Si) for Noisy Electrical Environments The GFP Ground Fault Protectors feature Merlin Gerin’s exclusive Si (Super-immunized) design to minimize risk of nuisance tripping due to an electrically noisy environment. Si is ideal for maintaining continuity of service on networks susceptible to high risk of nuisance tripping, including: � Surges due to lightning strikes � Variable speed controllers, frequency converters � Electronic ballasts � Presence of switchgear that incorporates interference filters; e.g., lighting, microcomputing, etc. The GFP will also effectively detect ground faults in conditions that might mask ground fault levels, including: � Presence of harmonics or high frequency rejection � Presence of DC components: diodes, thyristors and triacs � Low temperature “SiE”Type for Humid and/or Corrosive Environments In addition to noise immunity, the GFP is also designed for harsh environments. They are particularly suitable for use in humid environments and/or environments polluted by corrosive agents, for example, swimming pools, marinas, the food-processing industry, water treatment plants and industrial sites.
