Looking through the manual for a VRF we may use I see the following note:
"Be sure to install a ground leak detector. (This unit uses an inverter, which means that a ground leak detector capable of handling high harmonics must be used in order to prevent malfunctioning of the ground leak detector.)"
I've used ground fault detection on ungrounded systems and ground fault relays on control systems using phase to phase control voltage. I haven't used a ground leak detector and haven't came across anything with that specific name. This will be in a typical office building with a grounded electrical system. Anyone familiar with this? What type of 'detector' is used, where it's installed, relevant code requirements? Thank you.
