GFCI Outlet Continued
Testing GFCI’S
To test a GFCI find a 120 volt night light or small
lamp to plug into the GFCI outlet. Try it in another
circuit first to make sure it lights.
After the lamp is plugged into the GFCI outlet the
lamp should light. Now press the “test” button at
the GFCI receptacle center. The GFCI’s “reset”
button should pop out and the lamp should go out.
This means the GFCI itself is functioning properly.
Press the “reset” button to restore power to the
outlet. Test each GFCI circuit monthly.
You can use the lamp to check receptacles down-
stream from the GFCI. All re-
ceptacles should light the lamp
and should go out when the
“test” button is pressed.
Also, GFCI downstream re-
ceptacles can be tested with a
plug-in type GFCI tester. This
tester contains a GFCI test
buton which accomplishes the
same thing as the GFCI receptacle built-in test
button. This tester can be purchased at electrical
supply houses or marine retailers.
Ignition Protected Devices
Many electrical devices in everyday use tend to “arc”
or spark when being used. These include motors,
fans, switches, relays, etc.
Boats in general use many of these same devices
but they are protected from any sparking that may
cause the device to ignite with any vapors that are
typically found in the engine room and/or fuel tank
compartments.
When replacing any electrical device especially in
the bilge or engine room make sure it is ignition
protected. This means it has been tested and
normally the device is stamped with a marking making
it safe to use. Most automotive type devices are not
ignition protected especially engine starters and
alternators.
Note smaller hose barb for generator feed and return.
Possible Problems/solutions (GFCI’s)
1. If the “reset” button does not pop
out, the GFCI is probably defective and
should be replaced.
2. If the “reset” button pops out one
time but tends to stick the next the
GFCI should be replaced.
3. The GFCI “reset” button pops out when some-
thing is turned on. This may indicate an internal
wiring problem with the GFCI or there may be a
ground-fault down stream.
4. The GFCI “reset” button is in the pressed po-
sition and nothing works. Check the appropriate
breaker at the main ship’s AC control panel to make
sure it has not “tripped” or as been deactivated.
