Your order must include the cat. no. of the arcing ground fault relays and sensor selected.

Low-level (arcing) ground faults are below the fuse or circuit breaker rating and therefore go undetected until a much larger problem develops. The Allen-Bradley Arcing Ground Fault Detection System is designed to sense these low-level faults and either drop out the motor controller or operate a shunt-trip circuit breaker to clear the fault.
