Eaton Electrical
EGF Series CurrentWatch Current Sensors

Key Features

  • Broad Range of Options to Meet Application Needs—NO or NC, solid state or mechanical relays, normally energized or normally de-energized contacts
  • Setpoint Options Maximize Ease-of-Use and Application Flexibility—Field selectable 5, 10 or 30 mA setpoints on the EGF “triset” models make user adjustments fast, sure and convenient
  • Compatible with Standard Equipment— Application on single- and three-phases systems, ideal for use with shunt trip breakers, and magnetically isolated from monitored circuit and control power
  • Agency Approved—UL and CE Certified, accepted worldwide

Applications

Personnel Protection (Typically 5 mA)—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 (Typically 10 or 30 mA)— For applications where personnel protection is not the primary concern, higher set point 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

Standards and Certifications

  • UL 1053, Class 1 Recognized
  • CE

The CurrentWatch EGF Series from Eaton’s electrical sector 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 grounded single and three-phase delta or wye systems.

The EGF Series with solidstate outputs offers the benefit of reliable, long lasting solid-state switches. Solid-state design provides unlimited switch operating life, superior resistance to shock and vibration, zero offstate leakage, high switch speeds and high input-output isolation.

The EGF Series with mechanical relay outputs is available in solid-core housings with a choice of NO or NC SPST latching relays and a SPDT Form C relay with auto-reset.
