Ground Fault
The Residual Ground Fault protection monitors the ground
current of the motor and will trip the motor if the ground
current exceeds the set threshold. The Ground Fault
protection is always active.

ABC wiring recommended.
Note:
Refer to Chapter 10 for information concerning the
External Ground Fault module and the Pulse Detect
Ground Fault feature.
Supply Protection
The C445 monitors the supply voltage to the motor for the
faults described below. These protections are only available
if the C445 Measurement Module has the voltage option.
Users can easily customize protection settings in the
protection menu of the Monitoring User Interface or of
Power Xpert
in
Control.

Ground Fault
When the Supply fault is enabled in Trip mode, the C445 will
trip if a Voltage fault is detected when the motor is running.
In this mode, a Start will be inhibited if the fault condition is
present. Starts will be allowed as soon as the fault condition
is cleared.
Users may also optionally inhibit starting based on presence
of a voltage fault. To inhibit starting based on voltage faults,
enable “Inhibit Start on Voltage Fault” in the Protections
R
General menu.
