How GFCIs Protect You

“…GFCIs Save Lives”*

The Need for Ground Fault Protection

Electrical wiring systems are the foundation of the modern technological world, but they are not

foolproof. Whenever electrical current is flowing through circuit conductors, there will always

be the risk of fire or serious electrical shock if certain conditions occur. Most people assume that

a circuit breaker is the safety net in an electrical system, but this is only partially true.

The circuit conductors in any wiring system are rated for a maximum electrical current. In the

event of a severe short, excessive current flows in the conductors, and this can quickly lead to

serious overheating and fire. This is where circuit breakers go to work. They “trip” open when

excessive current occurs, thereby protecting the building structure. However, the current level

needed to trip a circuit breaker is many times greater than the amount that can deliver a

powerful, and possibly lethal, electrical shock to a person.

Another type of short, called a Ground Fault, can easily occur when the "hot" conductor in an

electrical device touches a device's metal

enclosure due to exposure through a break in its

insulation. Using a coffeemaker as an example,

consider what could happen if a wire becomes

frayed or the device becomes damaged over

time. The “hot“ conductor in the coffeemaker

(see Figure 1) may come in contact with the

metal body. A person touching the coffeemaker

could then become a path to ground for current

leaking from the metal body. This ground fault

condition can be life threatening even though

the current flow may be far less than the amount

required to trip a circuit breaker.

How a GFCI Works

When current is leaking to ground, not all current flowing through the "hot" conductor is

returning through the "neutral" conductor. Figure 1 shows how a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) monitors this difference in current flow between the hot and neutral

conductors. As long as the difference in current

is zero, the GFCI allows current to flow.

However, if the GFCI senses even a slight

difference in the current flow between the two

conductors (a ground fault), it reacts by opening

its internal double-pole contacts to interrupt the

flow of electrical current through the device. The

GFCI must be sensitive to the minimum amount

of current that can harm a human being, and it

must trip instantaneously.

Figure 2 summarizes GFCI tripping

characteristics in general. According to UL

Standard 943, a Class A GFCI must trip when

there is a ground fault current of 5mA (±1mA).

Figure 2 also shows trip time requirements.

GFCI receptacles are used in place of standard duplex receptacles and can also be wired in a

feed-through manner to provide ground fault protection for receptacles wired downstream.

How GFCIs Protect You

New UL Requirements Make GFCIs Safer and More Effective

Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a leading product safety and certification organization, issued

changes to GFCIs to provide an even higher level of consumer protection. The changes went

into effect on January 1, 2003. The new standards include provisions for:

•Diagnostic Indication for Miswiring

Diagnoses potentially hazardous installation wiring error that allows a GFCI to be live even

after it’s tripped. Blocks power to downstream receptacles in case of line/load reversal. SmartLock®

incorporates a diagnostic feature that prevents the GFCI from resetting if the line and load

connections are mistakenly reversed. (GFCI receptacle face is still live and unprotected when

line and load leads are reversed.)

•Expanded Surge Protection (for GFCI components)

Electrical surges and/or overvoltages can cause electronic devices to fail. GFCIs must now be able to

withstand higher surge levels and still operate properly.

•Increased Corrosion Resistance

GFCIs must meet new stringent criteria for corrosion resistance, helping

to eliminate another potentional cause of GFCI failures.

•Increased Noise Immunity

Higher resistance to electrical noise (EMI/RFI) to help reduce nuisance tripping.

•Abnormal Over-Voltage Testing

Increased ability to withstand twice the normal voltage without creating a fire or shock hazard.

Leviton’s SmartLock GFCIs not only meet all of the 2003 UL requirements, but also include

Leviton’s patented lockout feature, which provides even greater protection. SmartLock’s RESET

button will NOT engage if GFCI protection has been compromised.

GFCI Testing Is a Top Priority

Because GFCIs can become damaged over time, the Consumer Products Safety Commission,

UL, Electrical Safety Foundation International and Leviton strongly recommend monthly

testing of all GFCIs:

To Test SmartLock (Lockout-Type) GFCIs

To Test a Non-SmartLock GFCI

Follow steps 1-4. If the GFCI does not trip when you push the TEST button and power to

the lamp or radio is not cut off, contact a licensed electrical contractor.

IMPORTANT: The SmartLock RESET button will not restore power if the GFCI is damaged

and cannot respond to a ground fault. The RESET button on a non-SmartLock GFCI will

always restore power, even if the GFCI is damaged and cannot respond to a ground fault.

1. Plug a lamp or radio

into the SmartLock

GFCI receptacle.

2. Turn ON lamp or radio. 3. Push the TEST button on

the SmartLock GFCI.

The GFCI will trip and

power to the lamp or

radio will be cut off.

4. Push the RESET button

on the SmartLock GFCI

to restore power to the

lamp or radio.

Leviton Offers a Choice of TEST and RESET Button Color

Every GFCI receptacle is required by UL to have “TEST” and “RESET” buttons, providing a

simple, clear means of testing whether the device is operating properly. Leviton GFCIs are

available in two versions to meet your needs. One version has matching body color

(monochromatic) buttons, offering a stylish, unobtrusive appearance. The other version has a

traditional black TEST button and a red RESET button, which is ideal in applications where fast,

easy identification of the GFCI is desired.

GFCI Protection: An OSHA Requirement on the Job Site

OSHA definitely means business, with fines for willful violations reaching as high as $70,000!

The second most common OSHA electrical violation at construction sites involves non-compliance

with either the Assured Equipment Grounding Program or Ground Fault Protection. Whichever

program you choose, portable GFCI Cord Sets or an approved grounding conductor program, make

sure it is used 100% of the time. Ignoring OSHA requirements can cost money as well as business.

Compliance with OSHA and NEC standards is absolutely mandatory, and use of Leviton GFCI Cord

Sets is a reliable, economical way to accomplish that.

GFCI Cord Sets Must Have Open-Neutral Protection

Open-Neutral Protection immediately trips the GFCI if the neutral conductor on the line side is

opened. This eliminates the possibility of the GFCI Cord Set having a live hot leg, even though

it may appear as though power is off due to the open neutral. A normal GFCI receptacle would

not be able to trip under these conditions.

Automatic vs. Manual Reset Cord Sets

Automatic Reset GFCI Cord Sets (black body) automatically reset ON when power is restored.

Manual Reset units (yellow body) will not automatically reset after power interruption; the reset

button must be pushed in.

Technical Information – Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Line/Load Reversal?

When the line and load leads are reversed

(right), the GFCI receptacle face is now wired

directly to the power coming from the panel,

completely bypassing the internal switching

mechanism. The face is not GFCI protected

and remains live even after the internal

switch opens. This is a potentially hazardous

condition, and the fact that the device appears

to be operating properly creates a false sense

of protection for end-users. UL now requires

a diagnostic indication to alert installers that

there is a line/load reversal.

What’s the Difference Between Line/Load

Reversal and Reversed Polarity?

Most modern plugs and receptacles are made

with one slot or blade larger than the other so

that there is only one way that a plug can be

inserted into a receptacle. If you try and insert

the larger blade of the plug into the narrower

opening in a receptacle, it will not fit. The

larger opening in a receptacle is where the neutral conductor should be attached and the smaller

opening is where the hot leg should be attached. It is possible that, due to a wiring error, the hot

and neutral conductors become reversed. This condition is called Reverse Polarity. Appliances

and other products plugged into a receptacle that has been wired with Reverse Polarity will still

operate. This does, however, present shock

hazards under certain conditions. A GFCI

receptacle will still trip if there is a ground

fault and a reverse polarity condition. More

importantly, a GFCI receptacle switches off

both the hot and neutral sides when it trips;

making sure that the hot leg is interrupted even

if it was mistakenly attached to the neutral side

of the receptacle.

As discussed above, line/load reversal refers to bringing in your power feed onto the incorrect

side of a GFCIs internal switching mechanism. The power feed must be connected to the line

terminals. When there’s a line/load reversal, the GFCI receptacle face will still be live even if the

device has tripped, creating a potentially hazardous condition.

Can You Install GFCIs in Non-Grounding Systems?

The first electrical circuits installed in homes were the 2-pole, 2-wire type, with "2-prong"

receptacles (2 parallel slots for the hot and neutral conductors). The only grounding point in

the 2-pole, 2-wire circuit is at the service entrance where the neutral conductor is grounded.

Experience proved that a single grounding point through the neutral conductor was not ideal for

electrical safety. This led to the installation of residential 2-pole, 3-wire circuits with a grounding

conductor, sometimes called the "equipment grounding conductor.” The grounding conductor

does not carry current during normal circuit operation. It is only connected to outlet boxes, chassis

and other non-current carrying components that may carry current in case of damage or defects in

the wiring system. The NEMA 5-15R grounding receptacle is typically used in residential 2-pole,

3-wire circuits. This "3-prong" receptacle provides a U-shaped grounding contact.

Technical Information – Frequently Asked Questions

Although the National Electrical Code has required 2-pole, 3-wire grounding circuits for several

years, there are still many homes with 2-pole, 2-wire circuits and 2-prong receptacles. You cannot

simply bring these homes up to modern code standards by replacing non-grounding receptacles

with the 3-prong grounding types. A qualified electrician will have to verify that there is a

continuous ground path at each receptacle, which may require circuit rewiring. An alternate

solution is to install a GFCI in place of the non-grounding receptacle.

Section 406.3 (D) of the National Electrical Code permits a non-grounding type receptacle to be

replaced with a grounding type receptacle without a grounding connection. However, the

grounding receptacle must be GFCI-protected.

The diagram below shows a typical non-grounding (2-prong) receptacle replaced with a GFCI.

The GFCI must be marked, “No Equipment Ground.” The GFCI can feed through to a grounding

receptacle, which must be marked “GFCI Protected. No Equipment Ground.”

For increased electrical

safety, Leviton strongly

recommends installing a

GFCI in every non-

grounding circuit. A

ground wire provides

protection by offering a

parallel path back to

ground for any fault

current. Without a ground wire, fault current will try and take other paths to ground and a GFCI

will trip and cut power under these hazardous conditions. Ground faults are more likely to occur

in non-grounding circuits and a GFCI will help protect family members from this potentially

hazardous condition.

Can GFCIs Be Used in Circuits with a Shared Neutral?

Using a single neutral conductor for more than one circuit can be looked at as a way to save

money on wiring. Because a GFCI receptacle looks for a balance of current flowing in a single

hot conductor and a single neutral conductor, it will not operate properly when more than one

hot conductor is sharing a neutral downstream from a GFCI. Current flowing in the neutral from

the circuit not protected by the GFCI will cause the GFCI to see an imbalance typically associated

with a ground fault and the GFCI will trip. A hazardous condition would exist in the circuit not

protected by the GFCI as it may appear as

though the power is off even though the

hot leg is still live. In circuits wired this

way, the neutral needs to be split at or

before reaching the GFCI receptacle and a

dedicated neutral must be run from the

GFCI receptacle to all downstream

receptacles protected by the GFCI.

Why Must GFCI Cord Sets Have Open-Neutral Protection?

Open-Neutral Protection immediately trips the GFCI if the neutral conductor on the line side is

opened. This eliminates the possibility of the GFCI Cord Set delivering power to the load if the

GFCI cannot trip in the event of a ground fault. Open Neutral Protection requires the addition of

special components to the standard GFCI circuitry. Permanently wired GFCI receptacles do not

require this feature, because their line-side conductors are not exposed to physical damage. In all

temporary power situations, where flexible cord feeds the line side of a GFCI, there is always the

risk of an open-neutral condition. Therefore, UL requires open-neutral protection for all Class A

GFCI cord sets.
