Introduction
The CurrentWatch™ EGF Series 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.
The EGF Series with mechanical outputs are
available in solid-core housings with a choice of N.O. or N.C. SPST
latching relays. All mechanical models can be ordered with a fixed
setpoint or with a “tri-set” option, which provides three factory-set,
field adjustable setpoints.
ote:N This manual only covers EGF Series models listed in the above table.
This installation manual does not cover EGF Series models with auto-reset.
Quick Install Guide
The below steps can be followed to quickly install a CurrentWatch
EGF Series switch.
1. Run all current carrying conductors through sensor window,
using an auxiliary current transformer if conductors do not fit.
2. Mount the sensor to a surface if needed.
3. Connect output and power wiring:
a. Use up to 14 AWG copper wires,
b. Ensure power and load matches those shown on the sensor
label.
4. Test the unit:
a. Pressing the “TEST” button will test the sensor’s internal
circuits,
b. CAUTION: The output and any connected loads will switch
during the test process.
Installation and Mounting
Considerations for all EGF Series sensors…
•
Run wire to be monitored through the aperture (opening) in the
switch body, making sure all wires are oriented so that current
flows in the same direction (see “Principal of Operation” section
below.
•
These sensors can be located in the same environment as
motors, contactors, heaters, pull-boxes and other electrical enclo-
sures.
•
Mounting can be done in any position or hung directly on a wire
with a wire tie.
•
Be sure to leave at least 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) distance between sen-
sor and other magnetic devices.
Considerations for wiring EGF Series sensors…
•
Use up to 10 AWG copper wire and tighten terminals to 4.5 in.-lbs
/ 0.51 N·m maximum torque.
•
Connect power wiring to terminals 1 and 2, making sure that the
power supply matches the power rating on the sensor label.
•
Connect output wiring to terminals 3 and 4.
Principal of Operation
Under normal conditions, the current in one wire of a two wire load
is equal in strength but opposite in sign to the current in other wire.
The two wires create magnetic fields that cancel, a condition known
as “Zero Sum Current.” If any current leaks to ground (Ground Fault),
the two currents become unbalances and there is a net resulting
magnetic field. The EGF Series sensor detects this minute field and
change the output state. This concept extends to three phase sys-
tems such as 3-wire Delta and to 4-wire Wye.

WIRING
Use up to 14 AWG copper wire and tighten terminals to 4.5 in.-lbs /
0.51 N·m maximum torque. See diagram below.
Power
Connect power wiring to Terminals 1 and 2. Be sure that the power
supply matches the power rating on the sensor label.
Output
Connect output wiring to Terminals 3 and 4.
Reset Switch
Connect a momentary dry contact to the Reset Terminals 5 and 6.
Limit wire run to 200 ft. (60.96 m) of 18 AWG or larger wire.
Momentary Reset
Only close the reset terminals momentarily—the sensor will not
work properly if the reset terminals are closed (shorted) continu-
ously. Limit wire run to 200 ft. (60.96 m) of 18 AWG or larger wire.
Parallel Reset Connection
Multiple sensors may be connected to the same reset switch in
parallel. Only the sensors that have detected a fault and have latched
will be reset. A sensor will not reset unless the fault has dropped
below setpoint.
Operation
The EGF Series latching ground fault sensors operating in one of two
states: Reset or Latched. If control power is removed, the sensor
remains in it’s last state (latched or reset).
Reset
The sensor has not detected a fault and the output is in the “nor-
mal” position. For Normally Open (N.O.) sensors, the contact is
normally open in the reset condition. For Normally Closed (N.C.) sen-
sors, the contact is normally closed in the reset position.
Latched
Upon detecting a fault or when the TEST switch is pressed, the out-
put will switch and “latch.” The output will remain latched until the
ground fault is removed and the output is reset by a momentary dry
contact on Terminals 5 and 6.

Power Supply Notes
All low-current ground-fault sensors are sensitive devices that
require reasonable care in system design to avoid false trips caused
by high electrical noise levels. Keep in mind that the best way to
reduce noise in a system is to suppress it at its source.
•
Keep the sensor power isolated from noisy circuits.
•
Do not power the sensor with the same circuit that switches con-
tactors or other high current inductive loads.
System Grounding
Good design practice and code require that all AC power systems
be grounded. The EGF Series sensors are designed to work on
grounded AC power systems. They may not operate properly on
ungrounded systems.

Testing
To test operation, gently press the TEST button. This simulates a fault
and tests the internal switching circuits. After the test is complete,
reset the sensor with a momentary dry contact on Terminals 5 and
6. CAUTION: Any circuit connected to the sensor will be operated.
Adjusting Setpoint
While not as precise as having it set at the factory, the setpoint can be
adjusted in the field. See wiring diagram for location of potentiometer.
The best way to adjust the trip point is to develop a load of the mag-
nitude at which you want the sensor to trip. A resistor of 4,000 Ohms
should provide a load of 30 mA at 120 VAC, or a night light bulb of 4
watts should relate to 33 mA. With the load energized and passing
through the sensing aperture, turn the potentiometer clockwise until the
sensor trips. Then, back one-eighth of a turn and the setpoint should be
correct.
When used with an external current transformer (CT), the sensor will
be set to trip at a point much lower than without the CT. This set point
adjustment should be done with the load passing through the CT in that
application.
