between  GF, AL and COM when the ground fault 
current exceeds pickup. On ground fault alarm 
breakers, this voltage will  be present as long as 
pickup is exceeded. On ground fault trip break-

trip and must be observed with an oscilloscope. 
If the voltage is not present, the problem may be
in the breaker. Refer to Note 1 at the end of
