Bryant Electric GFTRST20W 20 Amp 125V Commercial/Residential Self Test Tamper-Resistant Duplex GFCI Receptacle, White

Product Description

Bryant self test gfci patented technology, Bryant gfci receptacles continually test and monitor for "people protection capability" automatically. This patented safety feature includes disconnecting power to the receptacle if critical components are damaged and gfci protection is lost. Gfci auto-monitoring is conducted continuously within every 30 seconds. Also, clear visual indicators are provided on the device face representing power status, trip condition, ground fault condition and end of life status. In addition, for added safety, power will be denied to the receptacle face if reverse wiring of line and load was to occur. Ul (underwriters laboratory) now requires all manufacturers to provide self test monitoring capability effective June 29, 2015. When was the last time you tested a gfci receptacle. Industry studies indicate only a very small number of installations are actually being tested as is recommended by the manufacturer and ul. This is the fundamental reason this new revision has been incorporated into ul 943 standard for 2015.
