GROUND FAULT CURRENT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
I
WARNING: Make sure you read, understand and follow all
instructions supplied by the GFCI receptacle manufacturer with your
RV. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to death or serious
injury from shock or electrocution.
Each trailer has a GFCI receptacle installed. These initials mean “Ground Fault Current
Interrupter.” This special receptacle has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused
by electrical shock.
An example of ground fault current is the current which would flow through a person who
is using or touching an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact
with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
When this GFCI receptacle is tripped, it has interrupted ground fault current caused by such
things as faulty insulation or wet wiring inside some appliance or equipment connected to
the circuit. The faulty equipment should be repaired before is it used again.
The GFCI receptacle will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The circuit breaker
or fuse in the electrical panel which supplies power to the circuit provides this protection.
This GFCI receptacle should be tested monthly while the travel trailer is being used.
Testing Instructions
1. Plug a 120-volt electrical device into the receptacle on the face of the GFCI.
2. Push and release the RESET button.
3. The 120-volt electrical device should operate at this time.
4. Press the TEST button.
5. The RESET button should pop out indicating it has been “tripped” and the 120-volt
electrical device should cease operation. (If the GFCI is manufactured with an
indicator light, the light should glow when the GFCI has tripped.)
6. If the GFCI did not trip, do not use the outlet. Call a qualified electrician to service or
replace the receptacle. The ground fault protection is no longer working properly.
7. To restore power after “tripping”, press in the RESET button. It must remain in. (If an
indicator light is furnished, it will be off.)
30-AMP SERVICE
On a 30-amp system, up to five (5) circuits are permitted to distribute power through the
trailer. All breakers are sized according to power to be consumed.
I
WARNING: Do not replace breakers or fuses with any that are rated at
a higher amperage. Over fusing may cause a fire by over heating the
wire.
