AFCI, GFCI, AF/GF

GFCI receptacles

Tested to the highest standards to provide dependable, state-of-the-art protection suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial settings, Eaton's Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles are designed to recognize a ground fault in your wiring and immediately break the flow of electricity, thus protecting you from electrical shock. Additionally, they prevent resetting if, once tripped, the ground fault renders the device no longer functional. When combined with Eaton’s Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) technology, Eaton's GFCI receptacles provide fire and electrical safety in one device (AF/GF), and are also available in breakers. 

Redesigned GFCI Updates and Changes

For correct installations – please note the new LINE and LOAD wire and ground terminal locations have been changed from our previous GFCI versions.
