Ground Fault Receptacles with LED
Provide GFCI Functionality
Indication.
The LED with a GFCI message!
The Bryant LED indicates the ability of the
GFCI to perform its “ground fault protection”
function when tested.
There has been a common industry indicator
for the past 30 years that has been recognized
when GFCI receptacles are tested. If a ground
fault receptacle were unable to provide
protection when the test button is pressed, the
reset button would remain recessed. With the
reset button not “popping out”, it signifies that
GFCI protection was no longer available.
Today, the new Bryant GFCI receptacle
provides additional helpful information
regarding protection. When tested, a rapid flashing red LED will be activated if the ability
of the GFCI to provide protection is no longer
present.
Additional Features
• Miswire Protection: If the line and load
are mis-wired, there will be no power
at both the face and downstream. In
addition, the unit will not be able to reset.
• The LED “end of life” indicator.
• GFCI Protection Indicator: Upon test,
flashing red LED indicates discontinuation
of GFCI protection.
• Compact size of unit allows for additional
wiring room for quick and easy wiring.
Knowledge
of
code
requirements and safety
considerations are essential for
determining what applications
require ground fault protection.
Many GFCI requirements
are stated in the National
Electric Code (Article 210.8)
including bathroom, unfinished
basements, kitchen and outdoor
outlets. In addition, pools, hot tubs, spas, swimming
pool equipment and garages all require GFCI protection.
Consult NEC for additional locations requiring GFCI
protection.
• Meets UL943 surge testing (3kA, 6kV)
without having to resort to an inoperative
power condition that denies power and
locks out the end user.
