PGFR-122

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are life-saving devices that protect people from the dangers of electric shock and electrocution. They are designed to detect ground fault currents, quickly shut off electricity, and protect people and property from shock. The PGFR-122 is a GFCI that is often found in residential and commercial settings.

The PGFR-122 works by monitoring the circuit current on a continuous basis. When there is a current imbalance of five milliamps or more between the line and neutral conductor (a ground fault condition), the PGFR-122 will trip the circuit, shutting off the electricity and providing protection against shock and electrocution. The PGFR-122 can be reset, allowing for the protected circuit to be reconnected. It is important to note that the PGFR-122 must be tested regularly (every three to seven months) to ensure its proper functioning.

The PGFR-122 can be used in a wide variety of settings. In residential applications, they are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors. In commercial settings, they are commonly used in industrial and manufacturing plants, and places of public assembly, such as churches, schools, and stadiums. The PGFR-122 can also be used in motor vehicles and boats, to protect occupants from shock when swimming in or around electrically powered vessels.

Apart from its use in electrical systems, the PGFR-122 also has several other applications. For example, the PGFR-122 can be used as a personal safety device, such as in water parks and amusement parks, to protect swimmers and thrill-seekers from electric shock. It can also be used as a ground fault indicator, to detect and alert personnel of a ground fault current that is present in an electrical system. Finally, the PGFR-122 can be used to detect and protect against lightning strikes, as it can detect and trigger a shut-off immediately if there are any signs of a surge in a circuit.

Designed to detect and protect against ground fault conditions, the PGFR-122 can be an invaluable device in protecting people and property from the dangers of electric shock and electrocution. By monitoring the circuit and responding when it detects a ground fault condition, the PGFR-122 helps to provide essential safety in a variety of domains.
