Modular, distributed equipment leakage circuit interrupter

摘要

A modular leakage current detector and machine interrupter including a sense module for detecting ground fault currents in excess of a given value, the sense module including circuitry to provide an interrupt signal, a circuit interrupter interconnected to the sense module to disconnect power to the machine upon receipt of the interrupt signal, and a test and control module electrically connected to the sense module, the test and control module providing a fault signal to periodically test the operability of and reset the modular leakage current detector and machine interrupter.
