GFSX and GFS Explosionproof Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

New GFSX series available with NEMA 4X protection for Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas.

GFS and GFSX ground fault circuit interrupters are used in Class I and Class II hazardous locations with portable electrical equipment such as tools, lighting systems, compressors and similar devices for personnel protection.

GFS/GFSX GFCIs are used in branch circuits of 15 to 20 amperes at 125 volts AC in conjunction with Crouse-Hinds series ENR/ENRX or CPS receptacles.

Design features

  • Factory sealed chamber encloses the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and its potentially arcing components in an enclosure with explosionproof ground joints; no additional sealing is required when proper body is used
  • GFCI protects personnel against possible injury due to unwanted ground faults; meets requirements for personnel protection as defined in the National Electrical Code
  • GFCI is feed through type to serve several receptacles
  • Decentralized GFCI protection on branch circuits permits immediate identification of circuit where a ground fault is occurring; does not interrupt power on total branch circuit if tripped or when periodically tested; significantly reduces incidence of nuisance tripping; provides for use of 125 VAC portable lighting even when working on metal floors or catwalks
  • Can be installed on any Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series single- or multi-gang EDS or EDSC device box

Standard materials
