WESTINGHOUSE 179C708G06 GROUND FAULT SENSOR 120V AC DC 0.030A 600V

Description:

The Westinghouse 179C708G06 is a ground fault sensor designed for use in industrial electrical protection systems. Rated for 120V AC/DC control operation, 0.030A sensitivity, and 600V systems, the sensor monitors leakage current to ground and provides input to ground fault protection equipment. It is commonly used in switchgear, motor control centers, power distribution systems, and industrial control panels where personnel and equipment protection from ground fault conditions is required.

Applications:

The Westinghouse 179C708G06 ground fault sensor is commonly installed in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, utility systems, switchgear assemblies, and motor control centers. It detects ground fault currents and works with protective relays or trip units to initiate alarms or disconnect power during fault conditions, helping protect personnel and electrical equipment.
