GFS Series Explosionproof Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
GFS Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are used:
- With portable electrical equipment such as tools, lighting systems, compressors and similar devices for personnel protection
- In areas made hazardous by the presence of flammable vapors, gases or combustible dusts
- In branch circuits of 15 to 20 amperes at 125 volts AC
- In conjunction with ENR or CPS152 receptacles

Features
- Factory sealed chamber encloses the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and its potentially arcing components in an enclosure with explosionproof ground joints; no additional sealing is required when proper body is used
- GFCI protects personnel against possible injury due to unwanted ground faults; meets requirements for personnel protection as defined in the National Electrical Code®
- GFCI is feed through type to serve several receptacles
- Decentralized GFCI protection on branch circuits permits immediate identification of circuit where a ground fault is occurring; does not interrupt power on total branch circuit if tripped or when periodically tested; significantly reduces incidence of nuisance tripping; provides for use of 125 VAC portable lighting even when working on metal floors or catwalks
- Field installation is accomplished with standard tools
- Can be installed on any Cooper Crouse-Hinds single or multiple gang EDS or EDSC device box
