Ground-fault protection of electrical equipment\u00a0is required by the National Electrical Code\u00a0(NEC) in order to minimize the damage to the\u00a0equipment in the case of a ground fault. Ground-fault\u00a0protection of\u00a0equipment is \u201ca system intended to provide\u00a0protection of\u00a0equipment from damaging line-to-ground\u00a0fault currents by\u00a0operating to cause a disconnecting\u00a0means to open all ungrounded conductors of the faulted\u00a0circuit. This protection is provided at current levels less\u00a0than those required to protect conductors from damage\u00a0through the operation of a supply circuit overcurrent device.\u201d\u00a0The minimum code requirement for ground-fault\u00a0protection of equipment as outlined in NEC 230.95 is\u00a0for \u201c\u2026solidly grounded wye electric services of more\u00a0than 150 volts to ground but not exceeding 600 volts\u00a0phase-to-phase for each service disconnect rated 1000\u00a0amperes or more.\u201d<\/p>\n
