Description

The LineGard™ PGFM product family – operating in tandem with an an Airpax™ circuit breaker – delivers both equipment leakage and ground fault circuit protection (ELCI and GFCI), helping to ensure equipment is protected from ground faults and that personnel are safeguarded from electric shock in generator, CDU, and other applications.

The combined assembly is recognized as a Class A UL 943 (120V Only) and as UL 1053 (240V Only) rated device. The PGFM constantly monitors the current balance of the conductors (wires / cables) supplying power to the load. When a ground fault occurs, the PGFM uses the circuit breaker’s shunt trip coil to signal the breaker to trip.

Regulatory requirements around GFCI applications are largely incorporated into UL 943 (Class A GFCI) – which is designed to protect personnel from potential electric shock - and UL 1053 - which covers both GFCI and Equipment Leakage Circuit Interruption (ELCI)
