Overview

Enhance safety and functionality with the Hammond Power FG4 Fused Finger Guard Kit (SKU: FG4). This essential accessory is designed for HPS control transformers, offering crucial protection against accidental contact with live components. The FG4 is specifically compatible with MBMH, MGJ, and MLI suffix transformers rated at 250 VA. For 350 VA and 500 VA models across all suffixes, the FG4 also provides the necessary finger guard. Additionally, it is suitable for 750 VA transformers with AJ, AR, MQMJ, QR, SP, and PP suffixes. Each finger guard kit includes one finger guard and the PHAK1 instruction sheet, ensuring straightforward installation. When installed, the finger guard adds approximately 0.38 inches to the overall depth of transformers from 50 VA to 500 VA, and 0.31 inches for units from 750 VA to 2000 VA. This accessory is vital for maintaining compliance with safety standards in industrial environments, reducing electrical hazards, and ensuring the longevity of your control transformer installations. The fused finger guard design offers an additional layer of safety by incorporating fuse protection, further safeguarding sensitive circuitry. Ensure proper fitment by consulting the compatibility chart for your specific transformer model and VA rating. The FG4 is a direct replacement or addition for enhancing existing HPS control transformer setups, providing peace of mind and operational reliability.
