Description 
Special Purpose Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),  
Class C and Class D
Industrial Shock Block (ISB) is a personnel protection device designed to meet 
the new requirements for special-purpose GFCIs defined by UL 943C. ISB is the 
first and only permanently connected Class C and Class D GFCI on the market. 
Class C GFCIs is introduced to be used on systems where the line -to-line voltage 
is 480 V or less with a trip level of 20 mA, while Class D GFCI is intended to be 
used on 600 V systems. These improvements to the standard Class A GFCI (6 mA 
trip level used on 240 V systems or less) were made to allow the use of GFCIs in 
industrial facilities. 
Equipment Ground-Fault Protective Device (EGFPD) 
ISB is also available with adjustable protection settings as an EGFPD. The EGFPD 
models can be set to trip at 6, 10, 20 or 30 mA. This offers more flexibility since 
GFCI devices are not allowed to have an adjustable trip level. 
Rating and Models
ISB (GFCI & EGFPD) is available for voltage from 208 to 600 V with a maximum 
full load current of 100 A , and a built- in overcurrent protection supplied by 
Littelfuse Class T fuses. The load can be 1-phase (line -to-line) or 3-phase, 
however, cannot have a neutral. The power system can either be solidly- grounded 
or high-resistance grounded. 
Two options for enclosures are available: UL-recognized open- chassis models 
are available for installation in existing electrical enclosure and UL-listed enclosed 
models include a NEMA-4X enclosure for stand-alone installations. 
Ground Wire (Load-Ground) Monitor
The ISB also monitors the ground wire (load- ground) connection between the ISB 
and load. This is a required feature for GFCI devices and is optional for EGFPD 
devices. If the connection is broken, the ISB will provide an alarm by changing the 
state of the alarm contacts. This monitoring circuit includes an extra wire (pilot 
wire) between the ISB and load (since the monitoring current is low, only a small 
wire is required). At the load, the pilot wire is connected to a termination device. 
The other end of the termination device is connected to the load ground (typically  
the enclosure)

GFCI protection for systems with leakage current higher than the 
standard 6 mA required by UL 943 Class A
Provides extra safety when a customer is able to operate with a 
setting below 20 mA (GFCI) and the settings above 20 mA can 
reduce nuisance tripping on systems with high leakage current.
Protects from shock by tripping if continuity of ground wire 
between Industrial Shock-Block and load is broken.
Ensures proper operation and prolongs the internal contactor 
lifetime 
The fuses provide overcurrent protection for a 100 A circuit and a 
higher short-circuit current (SCC) rating of 50 kA.
Internal circuits are conformally coated to protect against corrosion 
and moisture, yet still repairable

The SB6100 is installed in-line between incoming power or 
existing over-current protection device and the load. 
The open-chassis SB6100 can be installed in electrical 
equipment and the enclosed version is typically wall-mounted.
