17. GROUND FAULT SITE TEST REQUIREMENTS
Per NEC and UL1008, a ground fault protected system shall be performance tested when first
installed on site. A written record of this shall be made and be available to the authority having
jurisdiction. A form is provided at the back of this manual for this purpose – see Section 21.
Confirm and record actual trip setpoints in the form provided which is to be made available on
request by inspection authority.
17.1. PERFORMANCE TEST
Qualified Field Service technicians require a calibrated current injection test apparatus and
must be knowledgeable in breaker testing to provide primary neutral CT injection up to or
greater than the trip setpoint as selected by the responsible party. As indicated in the NEC,
the maximum setting of the ground fault protection shall be 1200 amps, and the maximum
time delay shall be 1 second for ground faults equal to or greater than 3000 amps.
The inspection authority should be contacted to confirm actual test requirements as these
may vary by region or local code requirements.
