What are Ground-Faults?

  • Ground-faults occur when a current flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person.
  • Since their invention in the 1970s, GFCIs have played an important role in helping to reduce the occurrence of shocks and electrocutions.

High Frequency (HF) Interoperability with Modern Appliances and Outdoor HVAC Equipment

  • Modern energy efficient appliances and HVAC systems can sometimes create signals that GFCIs respond to by tripping.
  • Leviton’s advanced GFCI technology is designed to correctly identify actual ground faults from this noise.
  • By partnering with top manufacturers, we have tested our GFCI devices with a range of appliances and equipment to reduce nuisance tripping due to high frequency (HF) signals.

Why Choose a Leviton GFCI?

  • Protection without exception. Other manufacturers may allow their GFCI devices to be reset even after protection is permanently lost – taking advantage of UL exemptions and providing users with unprotected power. Why take chances?

GFCIs (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters) Frequently Asked Questions

 If your GFCI won't reset after installation, the most common cause is reversed LINE and LOAD wires. A green indicator light with a GFCI that won't reset often signals this issue. Check the device markings and reconnect the wires to the correct LINE and LOAD terminals. Leviton GFCIs are designed to prevent resetting unless they are properly wired and powered. For easier installation, consider a Lever Edge GFCI with color-coded levers that clearly identify LINE and LOAD connections. Leviton's Reset Lockout Technology: The Safety Upgrade that GFCIs Needed

The terms are interchangeable; UL uses the term auto-monitoring, and many of the GFCI manufacturers use the term self-test. Leviton GFCI receptacles self-test with 3 seconds of being connected. Self-Test GFCI

All the GFCIs manufactured after June 29, 2015, must include auto-monitoring, and many of the GFCI manufacturers use the term self-test.

While code does not dictate replacing older GFCI outlets with self-testing models, they are highly recommended as an added layer of protection and peace of mind when combined with recommended monthly manual testing. Self-Test Indicators

A GFCI receptacle can legally and safely be installed on an older two-wire, ungrounded circuit. The GFCI does not require a grounding wire to provide shock protection because it monitors the current flowing on the hot and neutral conductors and trips when it detects an imbalance.

Most household appliances can be plugged into a GFCI outlet. In fact, GFCIs are commonly required for receptacles in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, outdoors, and other areas where shock risk is higher.  Things to avoid are equipment that specifically requires a true equipment ground for proper operation or surge protection. A GFCI on an ungrounded circuit does not provide that ground.
