On a service over 1000a at 480v are there any parameters on the control circuit feeding the GFP relay?.I cant find anything in the NEC.
I agree 100%,the engineer missed the GFP,the manufacturer has given up on correcting his mistakes and i am stuck in the middle.The trip unit "approved" is 120v,this is why my mind is wandering.
I often include a 'capacitor trip' device rather than just a control power transformer. These are especially helpful when Phase Loss has been added to the protection circuit.
I have never seen a capacitor trip device used (nor required) on LV systems.
Usually they are seen on 4160V systems and above. Can someone explain why? Code? :-?
Please do not go into a lengthy discussion on how they work.
