The LineGard™ PGFM product family provides ELCI (equipment leakage) ground fault sensing and is designed and manufactured by North Shore Safety, a leader in innovative safety products. The PGFM series operates in tandem with an Airpax™ LEL series, UL 489 listed circuit breaker, with shunt trip and auxiliary switch manufactured by Sensata Technologies. The PGFM can be paired with an Airpax™ IDLNK breaker for applications requiring ignition protection.
The combined assembly of the PGFM and an Airpax™ breaker meets the requirements of ABYC E-11 for ground fault protection and main shore power circuit protection. The PGFM constantly monitors the current balance of the conductors (wires/cables) supplying power to the load. When a ground fault of 27mA nominal (30 mA max) occurs, the PGFM uses the LEL’s shunt trip coil to signal the breaker to trip.
Features
- Power and fault status indicators
- Provides identification of a ground fault vs. short circuit trip
- Chemical- and UV-resistant enclosure
- Trip level of sensing device < 30mA (27mA nominal) at trip time of < 100mS (60mS nominal) per E-11
- Protection range and operating voltage: 0 – 50 Amps, 120 VAC, 120/240 VAC
- Unit operating temperature is -35°C to +66°C
- Accommodates up to 3 wires, 6 AWG, with no twisting of the wires required

YAGEO offers complete circuit protection solutions including overvoltage protection components TVS, MOV, GDT, SPG, ESD, TSS, and overcurrent protection components PPTC and NTC. TVS, MOV, and ESD products have precise voltage clamping capability. They can constrain the voltage to a permissible level to prevent circuit damage by conducting significant current to ground. GDT, SPG, and TSS products work as a switch. The switch can be turned on to conduct transient abnormal current to ground. PPTC and NTC are resistors whose resistances are dependent on temperature. The resistances of PPTC and NTC can be changed along with temperature to protect the circuit. YAGEO circuit protection products are used in all kinds of applications including Automotive, Industrial, Power supplies, Telecommunications, and Consumer electronics.
