Table 41: T-Frame Circuit Breakers
External neutral sensor for 3-phase, 4-wire residual ground fault system (or for neutral current monitoring).
These neutral sensors include their wiring harness. To order this harness as a spare part, order cat. no. NCTWIRING.

Table 42: W/Y-Frame Circuit Breakers
External neutral sensor for 3-phase, 4-wire residual ground fault system (or for neutral current monitoring) and external sensor for Modified Differential Ground Fault (MDGF) or Source Ground Return (SGR) system.
These neutral sensors include their wiring harness. To order this harness as a spare part, order cat. no. NCTWIRING.

►Four MDGF sensors (phase + 1 neutral) are required for W-frame; eight MDGF sensors are required for Y-frame. For SGR system, only one sensor (neutral) is required for W-frame; two sensors for Y-Frame.
An MDGF/SGR ground fault interface module (Cat. no. S48891) is also required for each circuit breaker.
♦Oversized neutral protection = 1.6xIr where Ir = long time pick-up.
