Molex releases Woodhead for many different commercial and industrial applications ® Super-Safeway ™ And Safeway ® Ground fault circuit breaker (GFCI) product line. These products offer both permanent installation and portable versions, providing sufficient ground fault protection whenever and wherever personnel and equipment encounter risks.
Tony Quebbemann, Product Manager at Molex, said: "Grounding faults can pose great danger in the workplace, such as electric shock and electrocution. When using portable power sources or power cords, GFCI can provide reliable and safe protection for workers. After proper use, Woodhead Super Safeway and Safeway GFCI can prevent serious injuries or fatalities caused by electrical faults in construction sites, manufacturing work, and other harsh industrial environments
Woodhead GFCI products can provide automatic or manual reset function. This type of function has extremely high flexibility for specific applications: automatic reset can provide power immediately after power is restored, while manual reset units can only restore power after pressing the reset button to confirm that personnel and the system are fully safe. In addition, GFCI equipment adopts a dual insulation design, which meets or even exceeds industry standards and provides an additional layer of protection.
Other features and advantages include:
The device can withstand a rated current of up to 30.0A, enabling current support for high current applications that require GFCI protection.
• Provide multiple rated voltage options to meet specific customer needs. Single phase devices can support AC voltages ranging from 120V to 240V at 15A, 20A, and 30A. Multiphase equipment can support 120/240 phase separation, 240 three-phase, 208 three-phase, and 120/280 three-phase voltage at 30.0A.
This device complies with NEMA 4X and 6P standards and is suitable for almost any application as a GFCI compliant product.
LED indicator lights can be used to visually confirm the working status from a distance.
The impact resistant nylon shell and UV resistant chemical coating can protect GFCI from damage caused by vibration, sun exposure, oil, and chemicals.
The open neutral sensing relay meets OSHA standard requirements and can stop power supply in life-threatening situations.
Neutral grounding protection can protect personnel and equipment from grounding faults by stopping the current.
The Woodhead Super Safeway and Safeway GFCI devices can be used in a variety of applications, including manufacturing and processing plants, entertainment venues, airports, subways, and sewage treatment plants, as well as numerous other facilities including hotels and restaurants.
