SmartPlug ELCI Ground Fault Sensing Module

The SmartPlug LineGard™ PGFM product family provides ELCI (Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter) ground fault sensing and is designed and manufactured by North Shore Safety, a leader in innovative safety products. The PGFM series operates in tandem with an Airpax™ LEL series, UL 489 listed circuit breaker, with shunt trip and auxiliary switch manufactured by Sensata Technologies.

The combined assembly of the PGFM and Airpax breaker meets the requirements of ABYC E-11 for ground fault protection and main shore power circuit protection. The PGFM constantly monitors the current balance of the conductors (wires / cables) supplying power to the load. When a ground fault of 27mA nominal (30mA max) occurs, the PGFM uses the LELs shunt trip coil to signal the breaker trip.
