Leviton’s broad range of high-performing GFCIs meet the residential and commercial/industrial market’s broad range of needs.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are essential safety devices that help protect people from dangerous electrical shocks caused by “ground faults” – e.g., faulty electrical wiring, inclement environmental conditions, or other hazardous circumstances. GFCIs shut off power almost instantly once a ground fault is detected to prevent serious injury.
The National Electrical Code? (NEC?) requires the installation of GFCIs in such residential areas as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, workshops, basements, garages/carports, and outdoor areas such as pools, decks, and patios as well as in a range of commercial/industrial spaces where occupant-facing and/or mission-critical equipment is used.
Leviton’s high-performing SmartlockPro? and Lev-Lock? branded GFCIs fully support the market’s broad range of residential and commercial/industrial needs and include the following:
