KB’s AC Drives are designed to operate with GFCI
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required by the US National Electrical Code (NEC) in locations where electrical products are likely to contact water. It is a device that senses small imbalances in electric current. If this imbalance occurs, the GFCI prevents electric shock by rapidly disconnecting the power. GFCI’s will trip when used with most AC Drives. KB’s AC Drives contain special software to allow them to operate with GFCI circuits. This is a standard feature on our Digital AC Drives and optional, with factory programming, on all AC Hybrid Drives. Applications include: Boat Lifts, Commercial Food Processing, Pool Pumps, Biological Safety Cabinets and Portable Equipment used with GFCI’s such as Vacuums, Saws and Pottery Wheels.
