Introduction
This document is intended as a reference guide for installing and using a BPGF100
service entrance, ground fault (GF) relay. This document includes installation,
setup, and usage instructions.

Description of Components

2.7 .5)
The BPGF100 GF relay is a control-powered ground fault protection device used to
(70

1.42 protect an electrical distribution system from ground faults. The relay receives input
1.8 .5) (36)
(47 from the connected current transformers, processes the information, and, if
.22
1
(31
.1) necessary, changes the state of output contacts. The output contacts are intended
to be connected to the protection device to initiate a trip in the case of a detected
ground fault.
The relay supports a pickup range of 60–1200 A when using a compatible current
transformer. Supported current transformers meet the following requirements:
3.54
(90)

• Primary turns ratio of 600 or 1000

(67.5)
2.66

• 1 A, 5 A, or 10 A secondary rating
1.77
(45)

When the ratio of the current transformer is entered into the settings of the
BPGF100 GF relay, the value shown on the device’s LCD display will be the value
read on the primary side of the current transformer. Factory default settings support
a 600:1 ratio current transformer. 1000:1 current transformers are supported after a

 BPGF100 Ground Fault Relay Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions
ENGLISH

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E or CSA Z462.
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified
electrical personnel.
• Perform such work only after reading and understanding all of the instructions
contained in this bulletin.
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or
inside equipment.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
• Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on power to this
equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Testing
Perform testing after installation, periodically, and following any severe electrical fault.

NOTICE
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not perform high pot or megger tests. These are high-voltage insulation tests
which can damage relay.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

1. Make sure all connections are correct and secure.

2. Energize control power to module. The power LED should light (see Front
Display on page 10 for the location).
3. If the power LED does not light, see Troubleshooting on page 23.
4. If the module still does not function, contact your local Schneider Electric
representative.
NOTE: Use primary injection testing on system to verify system operation.
Alternatively, apply a signal to test circuit of sensor to simulate ground fault.

Installation BPGF100 Ground Fault Relay

Installation

ENGLISH
DIN Rail Mounting
1. Install a 1.375 in. (35 mm) DIN rail for relay mounting.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, pull the bottom mounting clip away from the relay
until it clicks and provides sufficient clearance for mounting onto the DIN rail.
Refer to the figure at left.
3. Slide the relay onto the top side of the DIN rail, then rotate it slowly downward
to snap onto the bottom side of the rail.
4. Push the bottom mounting clip back in until the relay is locked into position.

Panel Front Mounting

The supplied mounting kit (part no. XM420) will be used to mount the BPGF100 GF
relay to a panel front. The display and buttons will be accessible without opening
the panel. Refer to the figure below.
NOTE: Do not install the included DIN rail into the panel. The included rail is used
to hold the BPGF100 GF relay to the panel front.
NOTE: All wiring must be completed before panel mounting the relay, otherwise
terminals will become inaccessible.

1. Secure the cutout template from instruction bulletin 80262-402-01 to the panel
front, and trace the 1.77 in. x 1.77 in. (45 mm x 45 mm) cutout.
2. Using a punch or saw, cut out the traced square on the panel front.
3. Attach claw fasteners to the included DIN rail as shown in the figure above.
4. Slide the relay front through the panel cutout. Attach claw fasteners to the sides
of the cutout until the relay is securely attached.
5. From the front of the panel, slide the mounting frame over the relay front and
secure it to the panel cutout.

Relay Removal
Door-Mounted 1. Disconnect all power before servicing.
ENGLISH

2. From inside the panel front, locate the claw fastener of the relay mounting
bracket at the place where it contacts the inside of the door.

3. Insert a small, thin, flathead screwdriver between the claw fastener and the
exterior front frame catch. This will unlatch the exterior frame catch from the
relay claw fastener catch point. Do this again on the other side of the relay.
Remove the exterior frame from the panel.

4. Remove the BPGF100 GF relay from the panel cutout by squeezing both sides
of the claw fastener together, inward towards the relay, to disengage the slots
on the claw fastener from the cutout in the door.
5. Disconnect the wires from the screw terminals, if necessary.
6. For re-installation, see Panel Front Mounting on page 5.
DIN Rail-Mounted 1. Disconnect all power before servicing.
2. To release the relay from the DIN rail, first locate the black clip at the rear of the
relay (the side opposite the LCD screen). Pull downwards on the black clip until
it clicks—the relay is no longer locked onto the DIN rail.
3. Remove the relay from the DIN rail by rotating the relay slowly upwards
approximately 30° and lifting it upwards away from the rail. The relay is now
free from the DIN rail
4. Disconnect the wires from the screw terminals, if necessary.
5. For re-installation, see DIN Rail Mounting on page 5.

Wiring BPGF100 Ground Fault Relay

Wiring

ENGLISH
Refer to the wiring diagram below. Note the following instructions before wiring the
relay:
• Use minimum 24, maximum 14 AWG size wire.
• Use copper wiring only.
• Appropriate wiring stripping length is 0.3 in. (8 mm).
• Torque wire binding screws to 4–5 lb-in (0.5–0.6 N•m).
• A compatible current transformer is required for proper operation. Compatible
current sensors support a 600–1000 primary turns ratio, and a secondary rating
of 1, 5, or 10 A. The factory default setting for current transformers is a 600:1
ratio.
• Refer to Contacts on page 9 for detailed information regarding wiring and using
the output dry contacts.

1. Connection to supply
voltage—120 VAC, 60 Hz, 5 A
fuse required.
2. Connection to external current
transformer (CT). All system
conductors, including the 1
neutral, are routed through the
CT. Refer to Current
Transformer Routing on
page 8 for instructions on
routing system conductors
through the current 2
transformer. Refer to the table
on page 8 for compatible
current transformers.
3. Relay K1, Form C contact —
this contact changes state 3
when the threshold alarm is
activated. Refer to Contacts on
page 9 for more information.
4. Relay K2, Form C contact— 4
this contact changes state
when the main pickup alarm is
activated. Refer to Contacts on
page 9 for more information.

Wiring BPGF100 Ground Fault Relay

Contacts
Using Output Contacts with The following applies only when using the factory default settings. Changing any

ENGLISH
Default Settings settings related to outputs will affect contact behavior.
The BPGF100 GF relay has two Form C contact outputs. By default, Relay 1
(marked terminals 11/12/14) switches on activation of the pre-alarm, and Relay 2
(marked terminals 21/22/24) switches on activation of the main pickup alarm.
Under default conditions, Relay 2 operates in normally de-energized mode and
behaves in the following manner:
• During the normal condition, the contact is not energized. Terminals 21 and 22
are closed and terminals 21 and 24 are open.
• When the BPGF100 GF relay enters the alarm condition, the contact will be
energized. Terminals 21 and 22 will open and terminals 21 and 24 will close.
The figure below shows a typical application of wiring the main alarm contact to a
normally open shunt trip breaker or switch. Consult the manufacturer of the
interruption device to determine proper contact behavior before connecting any
interruption device. Changing any contact settings changes this wiring diagram.
