I-GARD GCHK-100 Instruction Manual

For a ground check trip condition only, the GCHK-100 TRIP relay, and its auxiliary relay, may be automatically
reset upon the removal of the fault condition without operator intervention. Otherwise all relays are manually
reset by pressing the RESET push buttons on the relay or on the remote indicators.

The GCHK-100 is set-up by DIP switches for different modes of operation and Trip Levels.
The ground fault pickup settings are set using switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 on DIP Switch 2.

When a Ground Fault is detected, two relays are operated i.e. the main TRIP relay (Form Z)
and an auxiliary relay with form C contacts.
ground fault trip delay
Switches 5, 6, 7 on DIP Switch 2 are used to select the Ground Fault Trip Delay (See Table 7.3) This is the
interval between detecting a fault and tripping the relay. The delay will be cancelled if the fault clears before the
delay expires, thus preventing unnecessary trip operation.
