Ground Fault--A Health Hazard

Jacobs, Clinton O.

Agricultural Education, 49, 9, 200-201, Mar 77

A ground fault is especially hazardous because the resistance through which the current is flowing to ground may be sufficient to cause electrocution. The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.) protects 15 and 25 ampere 120 volt circuits from ground fault condition. The design and examples of G.F.C.I. functions are described in this article.
