41 PR 6024 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A unique ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) device is utilized to control either an industrial circuit breaker of a contactor in protecting a large power distribution circuit against ground faults. The GFCI device is equipped with plural sets of the GFCI device. The particular switch contacts are selected to control energization of an actuator adapted to the circuit breaker or contactor, depending on the actuator type. A ground fault sensor responds to ground faults on the distribution circuit by injecting a current imbalancing signal into the GFCI device, causing it to trip. The consequent switch contact actuation initiates operation of the circuit breaker of contactor to interrupt the distribution circuit.
