ABB+GFD233A GFD212A

Description

The ABB GFD233A and GFD212A are types of ground fault detection modules used in electrical engineering applications, particularly within the context of low-voltage electrical distribution

Product Name:

• ABB GFD233A
• ABB GFD212A

Product Description:

• ABB GFD233A: This module is designed to detect ground faults in electrical systems, providing reliable protection for personnel and equipment. It is typically used in combination with circuit breakers to enhance safety against earth faults.
• ABB GFD212A: Similar to the GFD233A, this module provides ground fault protection, but may have distinct operational settings or features suited for different applications. It may be utilized in various distribution panels.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

1. Operating Voltage: Typically ranges from standard low-voltage levels (e.g., 230V, 400V).
2. Operating Frequency: Usually designed for 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems.
3. Sensitivity:
   • The GFD modules usually have adjustable sensitivity settings (often ranging from 30 mA to several hundred mA, depending on model).
4. Response Time: Fast response to ground faults, typically in milliseconds.
5. Testing Functionality: Includes integral test functions for periodic condition checks.
6. Status Indications: LED indicators for operational status and fault conditions.
7. Dimensions: Standardized rail-mounted dimensions (e.g., 3 or 4 modules wide).

Product Use:

• Safety Protection: The primary purpose is to detect ground faults (earth leakage currents) to prevent electric shock hazards and damage to equipment.
• Applications:
  • Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
  • Use in renewable energy systems (like solar PV inverters).
  • Installation in machinery and equipment where ground fault risks are prevalent.
• Compatibility: These modules generally work in conjunction with circuit breakers and other protective devices within an electrical panel.
