Overview

Enhance the safety and operational integrity of your Hammond Power control transformers with the FG5 Fused Finger Guard Kit. This essential accessory is designed to provide robust protection against accidental contact with live components, ensuring a safer working environment in industrial settings. The FG5 kit is specifically engineered for compatibility with a range of Hammond Power transformer series, including those with MBMH, MEMX, MGJ, MLI, and PG suffixes. It is available for 750 VA transformers with specific suffixes (MBMH, MEMX, MGJ, MLI, PG) and for all suffixes on 1000 VA and 1500 VA models. The integrated fused design offers an additional layer of protection, contributing to reliable system operation and compliance with safety standards. Installation is straightforward, with the kit including a finger guard and necessary mounting hardware, along with the PHAK1 instruction sheet for guidance. When installed, the finger guard adds approximately 0.31 inches to the overall depth of the transformer. This accessory is crucial for maintaining the highest safety standards in control systems, particularly in applications where personnel may be in close proximity to energized transformer terminals. The FG5 kit is a direct replacement or upgrade for existing finger guards, offering fused protection where unfused guards were previously used. Ensure your control transformers are equipped with the necessary safety features by selecting the Hammond Power FG5 Fused Finger Guard Kit.
