PC-Series
GFCI/ELCI & Panel Seal
The PC-Series, AC Residual Current Circuit Breaker with
Overcurrent Protection (RCBO), combines the ground fault
protection of a GFCI with the familiar overcurrent tripping
characteristics of a normal circuit breaker.
The PC-series utilizes the hydraulic magnetic principle
which provides precise operation and performance even
when exposed to extremely hot and/or cold application
environments.
Features:
Overload, short circuit and ground fault protection in a
single package
Handle style actuators and rocker style “acuguard”
Wiping Contacts - Mechanical linkage with two-step
actuation – cleans contacts, provides high, positive
contact pressure & longer contact life
A trip-free mechanism, a safety feature which makes it
impossible to manually hold the contacts closed during
overload or fault conditions.
A common trip linkage between all poles, another safety
feature, ensures that an overload in one pole will trip all
adjacent poles.
Front panel mounting
Integral push-to-test button
Two integrated LED indicators distinguish if a breaker is
closed with Line Voltage present, or has opened due to
leakage current, or has opened due to over current, or
is closed with no Line Voltage present.
Optional Hot/Neutral reversal detection and protection
Benefits:
Increases safety around boats and marinas
Protects against electrical shock hazards in areas near water
Protects against defects in the wires & conductors
Reduces fire and shock hazards from defects in permanently
installed appliances such as water heaters, battery chargers,
lighting fixtures, etc.
Detects low level ground faults, which do not trip ordinary
circuit breakers, that can lead to fires and shock hazards for
boating occupants
