Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover ground-fault circuit-interrupters
intended for use in one of the following applications:
a) Where the voltage to ground is greater than 150 volts and
equipment grounding or double insulation is required by the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
b) Where the voltage to ground is 150 volts or less and
equipment grounding or doubleinsulation is provided, but the use of
a Class A ground-fault circuit-interrupter is not practical.
Ground-fault circuit-interrupters addressed by these
requirements are divided into three classes, Class C, D and E,
based upon voltage rating and the characteristics of the grounding
circuit. Some are intended for use in circuits where grounding is
not provided to the load but double-insulation is provided.
These ground-fault circuit-interrupters are intended to be
applied on circuits as shown in Figure 1.1. The requirements for
Class A ground-fault circuit-interrupters are in the Standard for
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters, UL 943.
