IULK111-36062-100

Circuit breakers are electrical devices that protect against dangerous electrical surges and contain electrical systems during overloads, designed to prevent fires in homes, industrial factories, and other electrical systems. The IULK111-36062-100, also known as a "GFCI," stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, and is one of the most commonly used circuit breaker in today\'s market.

The IULK111-36062-100 circuit breaker works by monitoring and detecting ground-fault current levels. When the GFCI\'s internal current sensing circuitry detects an imbalance of electricity between the active and neutral wires of an outlet or device, it trips the breaker switch to immediately stop the flow of power to the line. This is an essential feature, as it is sometimes not clear to the user when a fault or overloading condition is present, so the device shuts off power before a hazardous situation can occur. By breaking the circuit in this manner, the user is prevented from potential electric shock and fire hazards.

In residential homes, the IULK111-36062-100 is typically used in areas of the home that have the potential to become wet, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other areas in close proximity to water. It is also used for protecting outdoor outlets near pools, hot tubs, and other areas that present a risk of further exposure to water. While this type of circuit breaker does not provide the same level of protection as a surge protector, it is extremely versatile, as it can be quickly and easily installed in any area of the home where an outlet exists and ground-fault protection is required.

The IULK111-36062-100 has also been used in industrial applications as it is an effective solution for protecting against overloads and hazardous electrical surges. In industrial settings, the GFCI is often found in panel boxes, motor control units, and other areas that are at risk of overloaded circuits and electrical shocks. In addition to the built-in features that provide safety assurance, the IULK111-36062-100 also carries UL ratings that ensure quality and longevity.

Overall, the IULK111-36062-100 is an effective and versatile device that provides electrical systems with ground-fault protection from overloads and surges. It is an excellent choice for residential homes and industrial applications alike, as it provides an additional layer of safety while remaining relatively cost-effective.
