AC Drives and GFCI
0 likes550 views
KB's AC drives are designed to operate with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) which are required by the National Electrical Code in locations where electrical products may contact water. KB's drives contain special software allowing them to operate on GFCI circuits without tripping, which is a standard feature on digital drives and optional on AC hybrid drives. This allows KB drives to operate equipment used near water like boat lifts, food processing equipment, and portable tools plugged into GFCIs.
AC Drives and GFCI
- 1. KBs AC Drives are designed to operate with GFCI A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required by the US National Electrical Code (NEC) in locations where electrical products are likely to contact water. It is a device that senses small imbalances in electric current. If this imbalance occurs, the GFCI prevents electric shock by rapidly disconnecting the power. GFCIs will trip when used with most AC Drives. KBs AC Drives contain special software to allow them to operate with GFCI circuits. This is a standard feature on our Digital AC Drives and optional, with factory programming, on all AC Hybrid Drives. Applications include: Boat Lifts, Commercial Food Processing, Pool Pumps, Biological Safety Cabinets and Portable Equipment used with GFCIs such as Vacuums, Saws and Pottery Wheels.
