Ground Fault Detectors & Locators

Bender Inc. offers the latest and most reliable ground fault monitoring and locating equipment on the market today. The new Ground Fault Detector IRDH275 continuously monitors an ungrounded (floating) AC or DC system, like a floating battery supply used for railroad signaling and communications systems, and alarms when a ground fault occurs. It features a LCD display showing alarm setpoints and current status of the system being monitored. Also available is our portable ground fault location device — the EDS3365 — which can locate ground faults in ungrounded AC and DC systems without interrupting the power supply. Ground fault current monitors are also available for monitoring grounded AC and DC systems.
