GFCI

GFCI Cords

In areas with moisture or heavy equipment use, the risks posed to the electrical systems must be managed while still ensuring effectiveness.

Be it operating tools on a job site, running equipment in a garage, or even setting up devices outdoors, the chances of running into electrical fault issues are lurking everywhere.

One of the more common problems that can also be dangerous is called a ground fault, where electrical current flows out of the intended path and cuts through water or a human body, which can lead to a violent electrical shock.

To counter these risks, a critical layer of protection is required: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

At Americord, we develop GFCI cords to meet the safety requirements without compromising power delivery even in harsh conditions. Our cords are designed to endure the elements, resist wear, and perform consistently.

Also, our cords are built to comply with UL and OSHA standards, providing uninterrupted safety and productivity in every environment.

FAQs

1. What is the use of a GFCI plug?

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) plug is designed to protect users from electrical shock by quickly shutting off power when a ground fault or leakage current is detected. It’s especially important in wet or hazardous environments where the risk of electric shock is higher, such as construction sites, workshops, and outdoor areas.

2. Are GFCI extension cords safe?

Yes, GFCI extension cords are very safe when used properly. They provide an extra layer of protection by automatically cutting power if a ground fault is detected, helping to prevent shock, burns, or electrocution.

3. What is an inline GFCI?

An inline GFCI is a GFCI module built directly into an extension cord. It continuously monitors the electrical current and will trip, cutting power, if it senses an imbalance or ground fault. These are ideal for portable protection on job sites, in garages, or for outdoor use where fixed GFCI outlets may not be available.
