TECHNICAL INFORMATION
TITLE: GROUND-FAULT-CT SELECTION FLOWCHART

Applicable Monitors: MPU-16A, FPU-16, MPS, SE-701, SE-330

YES Use 1A or 5A CT Connection.

START I T ≥ 5A
B B The primary rating is defined
by the CT turns ratio.

NO

Use EFCT Connection

Use a 500:5 or 100:1 CT connected to the EFCT

input. The primary rating for this connection is 5A.
For I S < 5kA use Model 170 CT (4.25" ID).
B B

YES For I S < 8kA use Model 120 CT (5.75" ID).

I P > 100A
B B

For I S ≥ 8kA use Model 130 CT (5.75" ID).

B B

or B B

I S > 2.5kA
B B
Settings above 5% (250mA) recommended.
If I P > 70A, also use a SE-EFVC voltage clamp on
B B

SE-701, MPU-16A, and FPU-16.

Note A
NO

YES
I T < 0.5A
B B

I T : Ground-Fault Trip-or-Alarm Level

B B

I P : Prospective Ground-Fault Current

B B

I S : Surge Current (1.6 x LRA for motors)

B B

NO

EFCT-1 or NO EFCT-1 with EFCT-1FC

EFCT-2 I S > 1kA
B B

or EFCT-2
Note B
YES Note B

Note A: 120-501: 500:5 Model 120 CT, 5.75" Window.

130-501: 500:5 Model 130 CT, 5.75" Window.
170SHT-501: 500:5 Model 170 CT, 4.25" Window.
Other 500:5 or 100:1 CT's may work but the user should test to verify performance.
Note B: EFCT-1: CT with no flux conditioner, 3.23" Window.
EFCT-1FC: EFCT-1 flux conditioner, 2.75" Window.
EFCT-2: CT complete with flux conditioner, 5.50" Window.
