GM8000 Ground Sentinel
- Manufacturer: GAI-Tronics (a Hubbell Company)
- Product Type: Ground Continuity Monitoring
Features
-
This unit is installed at the power center the Ground Sentinel® transmits a 4000 Hz tone on the phase wires, transfers it to the ground wire, and monitors continuity as the tone is returned to the SENTINEL.
-
The system ignores the parallel ground path effect. This being negated by means of the ground wire trap in series with the ground wire at the power center.
-
Detects open phase wires (Single Phasing).
- For monitoring ground wires of continuous miners, cutting machines, shuttle cars, roof bolters and other mining equipment.
- Simplified system — immune to voltage transients.
- No interaction on multiple installations.
- Simplified installations, no phasing required.
- May be installed and tested with no power on the power cable.
Description
For ground-continuity monitoring of AC mining cables. For Low and Medium Voltage Cables up to 1000 Volts. Developed to comply with MSHA requirements, the tone monitor interrupts power to the mining machine if the ground wire is
broken.
