Duplex and Quad GFCI Boxes

Quad and Duplex GFCI Boxes from Southwire/TRC

Contact Sords Electric HERE

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help prevent electrocution. If a person’s body starts to receive a shock, the GFCI senses this and cuts off the power before he/she can get injured.

According to the National Electrical Code, a “ground fault” is a conducting connection (whether intentional or accidental) between any electric conductor and any conducting material that is grounded or that may become grounded. Electricity always wants to find a path to the ground. In a ground fault, electricity has found a path to ground, but it is a path the electricity was never intended to be on, such as through a person’s body.

Because of this potential for shock, GFCI protection is used to protect human life.

Note: AFCIs should not be confused with GFCIs. While both AFCIs and GFCIs are important safety devices, they have different functions. AFCIs are intended to address fire hazards; GFCIs address shock hazards.

TRC 44700 / 44720 GFCI 30 Amp Series GFCI's














2020 NEC New Standard in GFCI Protection

Article 210.63(A) for HVAC equipment & Article 210.63(B) for indoor service equipment and indoor equipment requiring dedicated space

 HVAC equipment in a basement is currently covered in code requiring basement circuits to be GFCI protected. HVAC equipment located in attics and other tight area is not currently covered by any GFCI requirement. The CMP recognized that many HVAC areas are typically tight working spaces where technicians perform justified energized work (they can’t troubleshoot a de-energized circuit). The 2020 code update assures equipment requiring service has a GFCI protected receptacle outlet that is readily accessible. 

Article 210.8(F) 

Code is updated for ALL outdoor outlets supplied by single phase branch circuits rated 150 volts to ground or less, 50 amps or less. This increased from 20 amps and now extends beyond receptacles to include ALL outlets and includes ALL hard-wired equipment. 

The National Electrical Code (NEC®) requires use of listed products to meet the requirements of various “Articles” within the code. 

We currently have the capability and current products that OEM and installers could use to comply with these changes without changing the electrical panel. Existing in line models can be offered as an optional installation kit by the OEM’s. The OEM could also choose to have an optional factory installed GFCI built into the equipment that would utilize our panel mount version. 

2021 UL 943 GFCI Certification Requirement Changes

WHEN IS IT EFFECTIVE: MAY 5, 2021

PARAGRAPHS AFFECTED 

Paragraphs 5.16 and 6.27 have been revised to include the extension of Auto-monitoring and end of life requirements to ALL types of GFCI’s Paragraphs 6.31.2 (d) and (e) have been revised to improve the auto-monitoring function of permanently connected GFCI’s 

WHAT THE CHANGES MEAN 

The changes to these paragraphs now requires ALL GFCI circuits to be provided with an auto-monitoring function. Prior to this change the auto-monitoring function was only applicable to permanently connected GFCI’s. Now all GFCI’s will be required to have periodic, automatic testing of the devices ability to respond to a ground fault. This test will occur each time the power becomes available to the load terminals and will be initiated within 5 seconds of power on and shall be repeated every three hours. If the auto-monitoring circuit detects a problem the circuit will deny power (trip with inability to reset) or trip with the ability to reset, subject to the next auto-monitoring test cycle. 

**Southwire GFCI products will self test within 1/10th of a second, after power on, and will self test every 17 minutes** 

Reason for the change In layman’s terms, currently, the user has to press the test button on a GFCI device to determine if the GFCI is operational. This is hazardous as many GFCI users do not test the circuit prior to use or during the GFCI life cycle. Auto-monitoring ensures the GFCI is ALWAYS operational against a potential life threatening ground fault event without user intervention. 

DEFINITIONS & STANDARDS 

GFCI 

 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is an LCPD specifically intended for the protection of people from shock hazard. A GFCI is a device that will immediately stop the flow of electricity if it senses any voltage loss, whether the loss is through the ground wire or to your body. 

EGFPD 

Equipment Ground-Fault Protective Devices (EGFPD) These devices operate to disconnect the electric circuit from the source supply when the ground-fault current exceeds the ground-fault pick up level marked on the equipment. EGFPS’s are intended to be installed only on grounded alternating-current systems IAW National Electric code. EGFPD’s are intended for use in applications where ground-fault protection of equipment is required. EGFPD’s are not intended to be used in place of GFCI where a GFCI is required by NEC. 

ELCI 

Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters are a class of LCPD not considered to be “people protectors,” and are generally only intended for equipment protection. ELCIs are virtually identical with ALCIs with the exception that the trip level is set higher than 6mA. 

ALCI 

Appliance Leakage Current Interrupters are a class of leakage current protection devices closely related to GFCIs. In fact, they share the same limits for trip level and response time. The main difference is that ALCI’s are intended for use only in circuits with a solidly grounded neutral conductor. 

LCDI 

Leakage Current Detection Interrupter cord sets are intended to sense leakage currents flowing between or from conductors of the cord set and interrupt the circuit. 

AFCI 

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters are designed to mitigate the affect of electrical arcs. Defined by UL 1699 they can be provided as circuit breakers, outlet devices, combination devices, adapters and cord sets. The AFCI must differentiate a normal arc (i.e., power tool, light switch, etc.) from a bad arc (i.e., a parallel fault in the wiring). To avoid nuisance tripping, the trip levels are quite higher and time longer than GFCIs, ALCIs or LCDIs. A cord type AFCI’s maximum trip level is 75A for parallel fault and 5A for a series fault, both of which could be a fire in progress. 

PRCD 

Portable Residual Current Devices are designed for use in international applications and intended to protect people from electrical shock by interrupting the electrical circuit to a load when a fault current exceeds its rated trip level. They are compliant with IEC and NEMA standards, depending upon your country of use, and are available in 120V to 230V versions with 6-30mA trip levels. 

UL STANDARDS 

UL Listed products are used in applications where the product is not an integral part of the manufactured system. UL Listed wire and cable products are intended for use within residential, commercial or industrial buildings. 

OSHA REGULATIONS 

OSHA’s scope of regulation covers three major business areas; the Construction Industry, the Maritime Industry and a third category, General Industry, which covers most other business enterprises except for those in mining and agriculture which are overseen by other government agencies. OSHA’s regulations are Federal Law and are contained in the U.S. Government’s Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Violations of OSHA regulations can subject companies to legal action and fines. 

NEC (NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE) STANDARDS 

The National Electrical Code (NEC®) requires use of listed products to meet the requirements of various “Articles” within the code.

Watlow Solid State Relays

Sords Electric Sells Watlow Solid State Relays

Buy Watlow SSRs HERE!

The power controller is a discrete output device that regulates your system with guidance from the temperature controller. There are three common power controllers: electromechanical relays, solid-state relays and silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs).

Watlow solid state relays (SSR) offer many of the advantages of solid state power controllers, but at a lower cost. Watlow's extensive knowledge in power controller design led to the development of a special fast cycle input card that enables a solid state relay to operate from a standard 4-20mA instrumentation command signal. Test results show that zero-cross solid state relays in combination with the fast cycle card promote better temperature control and longer heater life than slow cycle relays. Through a time proportional cycle rate of 1⁄10 of a second, heater life will be extended.

Both low and high voltage solid state relays are available from 24 to 660VAC. All ac output models include back-to-back silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) for a more rugged design than the traditional triac-based solid state relay. The internal design allows it to tolerate high currents and harsh electrical environments of heavy industry. Watlow also offers a switched VDC model for dc heating applications.

Watlow provides all of the components necessary for trouble-free operation. This includes two standard convenience items: a thermal foil to ensure proper thermal transfer from the relay to the heat sink and belleville washers to ensure that the relay is mounted with sufficient pressure to enable good heat transfer. Matched semiconductor fuses and heat sinks are available to complete the power switching package.

Relays may need to be deRated based on ambient temperature or how and where they are mounted. The rule of thumb is to only switch 80% of the amp rating.

For three phase use, please use 3 relays, one per phase.

Diversified Electronics TSF Solid State Repeat Cycle Timer

Sords Electric Sells the TSF Repeat Cycle Timer (Off time first) by Diversified.

For a Quote, please click HERE!


About the TSF Repeat Cycle-OFF Time First Solid-State Output Timer from ATC Diversified Electronics:

Application of voltage to the input of the timer initiates the OFF time. Upon completion of the OFF time, the load energizes and the ON time begins. Upon completion of the ON time, the load de-energizes and one cycle is completed. This OFF/ON cycling continues until voltage is removed from the input. The OFF/ON time periods are independently adjustable. 

Features:

  • Voltage to input initiates the off time
  • OFF/ON times independently adjustable
