EATON CH Series Ground Fault Equipment Protectors


Eaton CH Series ground fault equipment protectors (GFPs) protect electrical equipment and personnel from ground faults. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings to improve electrical safety. These units are also known as ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) or residual ...current devices (RCDs).Read more

Working Mechanism

  • GFPs constantly monitor the current flowing through an electrical circuit and compare it to the current returning through the neutral conductor.
  • If there is a difference between the two currents, it indicates a ground fault.
  • These units open the circuit quickly, interrupting the flow of electrical current and preventing injury or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ground fault?

Ground faults are abnormal electrical current paths between an electrical source and the ground.

How do ground faults occur?

A ground fault occurs when electrical current flows through an unintended path, such as through a person's body or damaged insulation, rather than through the intended path in an electrical circuit. Ground faults can be caused by damaged electrical equipment, water exposure or electrical arcing.

What is the difference between a GFP and a regular circuit breaker?

A GFP detects and interrupts ground faults, while a regular circuit breaker protects an electrical circuit from overloading or short-circuiting.
