The PGFU series product saves time and money by combining both internal and external control panel utility outlets in a single assembly. The assembly is entirely GFCI protected with TEST and RESET buttons accessible to maintenance personnel from the outside of the control panel. This unit offers the conveniences of internal control panel accessory power as well as external accessory power, while satisfying the NFPA 79 Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery mandate that control panel utility outlets have GFCI protection. All of this is offered in one NEMA 4X rated package satisfying NFPA 79, 16.1.1(6) & 16.1.2. In addition, electrical safety procedures mandated by NFPA 70e can now be addressed in a far safer, cost-effective manner. The PGFU product eliminates the risk and cost of maintenance personnel performing the required monthly GFCI "live power" functional test (NFPA 70e requires personnel to don protective clothing and gear, turning a simple 30 second test into a 30 minute task) The PGFU gives you accessory power flexibility, convenience and above all, safety, in one compact package Airpax Corporation 807 Woods Road Cambridge, Maryland 21613 USA Tel: 410-228-1500 Fax: 410-228-3456 infoppp@airpax.net 276 15/20 Amp Panelgard GFCI Utility Receptacle Specifications: Type: Rated Supply Voltage: Operating voltage range: Rated Current: Operating frequency: Trip level, Class A: Response time: Phase: Operating temperature: Panel cutout: Overall size: UL Recognized, Class A UL 943 CSA 22.2 No. 144 120VAC 85% to 110% of rated VAC Up to 20 amps 60 Hz 5mA +/- 1mA (UL 943) 25 mS max. Single -35C to 66C Standard DIN 32 punch 5.0" x 4.5" x 4.0" The NEED has been created - Regulatory and Application Summary The NFPA 79 Electrical Machinery Safety Standard now requires the following: * GFCI's required on all receptacles, internal and external, to the control cabinet 16.1.2 Receptacles for Maintenance Personnel - Receptacles, which are part of the industrial machine, either internal or external to the control cabinet and intended for use by maintenance personnel, shall have ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection for personnel. (NFPA 79, 2002 edition) Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors Panelgard - Industrial Utility GFCI * The GFCI assembly needs to have a NEMA or IP rating 16.1.1 (6) Shall be suitable for the environment. Receptacles mounted external to the enclosure shall be provided with means to cover the receptacle when the plug is removed OSHA has begun enforcing electrical safety using the NFPA 70e as the standard. The goal of the NFPA 70e is to keep personnel away from hazardous voltages. If the personnel is exposed to live voltages, they need to be "suited up" and protected while working on live voltage apparatus. * OSHA (NFPA 70e) discourages exposure to hazardous voltages without proper protection. To reset a "tripped" GFCI, inside a panel requires maintenance personnel to be protected or the panel to be powered down (something not feasible) * NFPA 79 changes all outets on electrical panels to be GFCI protected in housings rated the same as the enclosure. NFPA 79 is the law in Kentucky and several other states. * UL states that GFCI outlets need to be tested on a regular basis.
