FAQs
Begin by de-energizing the power source and inspecting the flight leads for damage. Terminate the hot and neutral conductors per local code, using appropriate connectors for the fuse-led configuration. Secure the device in its enclosure, test the GFCI function, and reset manually after the initial test. Verify proper grounding before energizing tools.
The unit provides 120 V nominal protection with a 20 A rating, using a #12 AWG cord and a 50' cord length. It features a GFCI interrupter, manual reset, and a NEMA 4X watertight housing. Compliance includes NEC requirements, and plug type is flying leads for flexible field wiring.
Yes. It is designed for outdoor and damp locations with a NEMA 4X watertight enclosure and polycarbonate body, which protects internal components from water and dust ingress. Its field-wireable capability and manual reset further support reliable operation in wet job sites while meeting NEC safety standards.
Key certifications include NEC compliance, indicating adherence to national electrical safety standards, and a NEMA 4X rating, confirming suitability for wet and corrosive environments. These certifications matter because they guide installers, electrical engineers, and procurement teams in risk management, regulatory compliance, and long-term maintenance planning.
Implementing a portable GFCI reduces electrical shock risk, minimizes trip-induced downtime, and simplifies compliance audits. The field-wireable design lowers installation labor costs, while its rugged, outdoors-ready construction reduces equipment damage. Over multiple sites, these factors translate into safer work environments and measurable savings in safety incident costs and project delays.
