Frequently Asked Questions
What are ground fault current interrupters?
GFCIs or ground fault current interrupters provide safety to devices where electricity may come in contact with water. They are used in kitchen countertops, bathrooms, swimming pools, hot tubs and outdoor receptacles. They are designed to immediately break the circuit when electrical current leakage is detected, reducing the risk of shock and electrocution.
What is an arc extinguisher?
The primary purpose of an arc extinguisher is to extinguish an arc each time a circuit breaker interrupts a fault. It eliminates the risk of damage to the equipment line and provides personal safety.
What are moulded case frames made of?
Moulded case frames are composed of strong insulating materials, such as glass-polyester or thermoset composite resins (plastic frames). They are designed to hold the current-carrying components, trip devices and other mechanisms in a small space.
