Frequently Asked Questions

What is a capacitor trip device (CTD)?

A capacitor trip device stores energy from an AC source and releases it to trip a circuit breaker during a power outage or fault condition. CTDs ensure breakers can operate even when control power is lost. Our models range from 4.72J to 21.5J trip energy for various switchgear applications.

What is an arc flash relay?

An arc flash relay detects dangerous arc flash events inside switchgear enclosures and initiates rapid breaker tripping to minimize equipment damage and personnel injury. Our AFGF series relays provide arc flash detection with optional integrated ground fault protection and fuse conservation features.

What is the difference between GFL, GFM, and GFP ground fault devices?

GFL is a zero-sequence ground fault sensor (toroidal CT). GFM sensors are current sensors that pair with the GFM-200 relay. GFP is a complete ground fault relay with inverse time-delay characteristics — it's the modern replacement for the legacy BGFL relay. Each serves different protection needs depending on your switchgear configuration.

What is an open circuit protector (OCP)?

An open circuit protector monitors CT secondary circuits and prevents dangerous high-voltage conditions that occur when a CT secondary is accidentally opened under load. Our OCP-1 is single-phase and OCP-3 is three-phase. Both are essential safety devices for switchgear with instrument transformers.
