<strong>The</strong> HUBBELL AUTOGUARD Safety Advantage<br />
Reverse Wire Safety Feature<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hubbell</strong> GFR will not have power at both<br />
the face and downstream if the line and load<br />
are reverse wired. Additionally, the unit will<br />
not be able to reset under a reversed wiring<br />
condition. Typically if the line and load are<br />
reversed, there will be power at the face and<br />
the end user would assume there is ground<br />
fault protection at the point of use.<br />
Surge Withstand<br />
Underwriters Laboratories requires all<br />
ground fault receptacles to meet a 6kV,<br />
3kA surge test without compromising the<br />
people protection functionality of the unit.<br />
If a unit cannot meet this performance<br />
requirement, it must shut down and become<br />
totally inoperable. <strong>Hubbell</strong> meets the surge<br />
withstand requirement by design without<br />
relying on a non-operational lock out mode to<br />
meet the test. <strong>Hubbell</strong> opted to build a more<br />
robust device by incorporating a heavy duty<br />
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) into the product.<br />
This MOV was specifically designed into the<br />
<strong>Hubbell</strong> <strong>GFCI</strong> receptacle with the intention<br />
of passing the UL 6 kV, 3kA surge immunity<br />
test while continuing to provide power and<br />
protection to the face and downstream loads.<br />
Three provisions for providing<br />
protection<br />
Continuous electronic sensing & testing,<br />
utilizing diagnostic software – immediate<br />
indication if unit has lost the ability to<br />
protect<br />
Traditional testing mode by manually<br />
operating the “test and reset” buttons<br />
Traditional auto-sensing mode for<br />
immediate interruption for a ground fault<br />
condition<br />
10,000 Amp Short Circuit<br />
Rating<br />
AUTOGUARD was designed to withstand the<br />
stringent applications where a potential for<br />
high current short circuit conditions exist such<br />
as industrial power centers, disconnects and<br />
motor centers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hubbell</strong> Exclusive Self Test <strong>GFCI</strong> is a<br />
comprehensive approach to testing.<br />
Reverse Wire Safety Feature assures unit will<br />
not be able to reset under a reversed wiring<br />
condition.<br />
Meets UL943 performance requirements by<br />
design, not by lockout<br />
