Eaton Electrical
EGFL Series CurrentWatch Current Sensors

Key Features

  • Broad Range of Options to Meet Application Needs—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 EGFL “triset” models make user adjustments fast, sure and convenient
  • Compatible with Standard Equipment— Application on single- and three-phase 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 part of an overall ground fault protection system
  • Equipment Protection (Typically 10 or 30 mA)— For applications where personnel protection is not the primary concern, higher setpoint 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 Approved
  • UL 1053, Class 1 Recognized
  • CE
  • cULus

The CurrentWatch EGFL 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. For more information, see “Zero Sequence” Operating Principle on this page. The EGFL Series is available with either solid-state or mechanical relay outputs. 

The EGFL Series with mechanical relays are available in solid-core housings with a choice of NO or NC SPST latching relays and a SPDT Form C relay with auto-reset. All mechanical models can be ordered with a fixed setpoint or with a “triset” option, which provides three factory-set, field adjustable setpoints.
