Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are a type of electrical shock protection that is widely used.
Ground faults are the most prevalent type of electrical shock danger and can affect any electrical equipment with a low-resistance grounding path—both commercial and residential—which translates to any gadget that relies on being connected to a standard electrical outlet to work.
Rising consumer safety awareness toward protecting electrical equipment from electrical fire hazards and preventing electrocution is one of the most important factors expected to drive widespread usage of ground fault circuit interrupters throughout the world.
The Global GFCI Controllers Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
Littelfuse, Inc. introduces the SB5000 Industrial Shock Block Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which detects leakage current and interrupts the circuit for loads up to 60 A.
Furthermore, the SB5000’s enhanced ground check protection mechanism checks the ground wire from the Shock Block to the load for continuity, interrupting power or preventing equipment energization if it is damaged.
The SB5000 Shock Block is appropriate for a wide range of sectors, including food and beverage, commercial kitchens, construction, mining, general manufacturing, and locations where electrical equipment is utilised outdoors or in damp conditions.
Aside from conventional functionality such as a 6 mA trip level for Class A devices and a 20 mA trip level for Class C and D devices, the Littelfuse SB5000 Shock Block:
Reduces unneeded tripping by adopting UL 943’s inverse time curve as well as a DFT filtering technique.
Enclosure ratings of NEMA 4X and IP69K are included for all food preparation settings.
Has enhanced ground-check capability, including a two-stage Zener termination option that meets CSA M421 and can detect a crushed cable before the equipment is turned on.
