Ground Fault Sensors

AGT-FD ground fault sensors

NK Technologies, San Jose, CA, offers AGT-FD ground fault sensors that detect faults to earth from 0 mA to 100 mA, and produce an output signal of 0 to 10 VDC in proportion to the amount of current passing to ground. The sensing window is large enough to monitor 100-amp circuits. It can also be used to measure and monitor any low-value AC circuit current by passing one of the conductors through the sensing window. Features include external power of 24VAC or DC (20-30V), and panel mount or DIN rail mounting.
