Leviton GFCI Outlet, 15A, Self Test, Tamper-Resistant with LED, White

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is an important safety device that helps protect people from electric shock and electrocution due to hazardous ground-faults. Ground-faults occur when a current flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person. Leviton GFCIs help protect people while meeting or exceeding National Electric Code® (NEC®) standards, regardless of the installation needs.

The Leviton line of GFCIs offers a variety of options, including Standard, Weather-Resistant, Combo GFCI/USB, Combo GFCI/Switch, Guide Light, Audible Alert, Wi-Fi GFCI, Blank Face, Dual-Function AFCI/GFCI, and GFCI Circuit Breakers. These devices continuously protect against electric shock and electrocution by interrupting power if a ground-fault is detected.

The NEC requires GFCI protection for areas around the home that are within a close proximity to a water source, such as the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, basement, garage/carport, and pool area. Leviton's GFCIs feature a patented reset/lockout feature that prevents reset if the GFCI is unable to respond to a ground-fault or if it isn't wired properly. Additionally, these devices regularly conduct an automatic self-test to ensure safety.

The LED indicator on Leviton's GFCIs provides simple, intuitive feedback on power and protection status. Furthermore, the tamper-resistant shutters prevent foreign objects, such as keys, from being inserted into the outlet, enhancing safety.

Operating electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions, electrical current leaks from appliances or tools, or when electrical wiring becomes frayed or damaged, can all lead to ground-faults. Leviton's GFCIs are designed to address these hazardous situations, protecting people from the risk of electric shock and electrocution.
