The sample was then subjected to the Visual Inspection Test previously described.

HUMIDITY CONDITIONING AND LEAKAGE CURRENT: UL943, 4th Ed./CSA 22.2 No.

144.1-06, Cl. 6.5

Method

The same sample subjected to the [Drop] [Impact] Test was placed in a 30ºC ambient until thermal equilibrium was attained. The sample was then conditioned at 93 ± 2% humidity and 32 ± 2ºC for [168] [48] Hours. Following the conditioning, while still in the chamber or within 60 s after removal from the chamber, the sample was connected to a 132 Vac supply. The leakage current between the neutral supply conductor and accessible metal or a 20 cm x 10 cm piece of metal foil wrapped tightly around the insulating enclosure was then measured. Following the leakage current measurement, the sample was checked for proper functioning by pressing the “TEST” & “RESET” buttons. Please condition 2 samples

Results

The results of this test [were] [were not] acceptable since the leakage current did [not] exceed 0.5 Ma to accessible metal parts or the foil mentioned above [and did [not] exceed 3.5 Ma to inaccessible functionally insulated metal parts.] The unit [operated] [did not operate] correctly after the conditioning.

VOLTAGE SURGE TESTS UL943, 4th Ed./CSA 22.2 No. 144.1-06, Cl. 6.6

GENERAL The same sample that was subjected to the drop and Leakage Current Tests was subjected to this test. The line side terminals of the Line-Neutral and Line-Line terminals that are protected by the representative ground-fault circuit-interrupter were subjected to the following surge tests: Unwanted Tripping Test, Surge Immunity Test. The ground-fault circuit-interrupter was connected to a supply of rated voltage. The grounding lead or terminal of the ground-fault circuit-interrupter (if provided) was connected to the supply conductor serving as the neutral. The ground-fault circuit interrupter was placed in the “on” condition with no load connected. A GFCI intended only for use in an enclosure was tested in the intended enclosure that was representative of the worst case situation for these tests.

UNWANTED TRIPPING TEST (RING WAVE): UL943, 4th Ed./CSA 22.2 No.

144.1-06, Cl. 6.6.2 METHOD

One representative ground-fault circuit interrupter was subjected to ten random applications or three controlled applications of a 3 kV surge applied at 60 second intervals. When three controlled applications were employed, one application was essentially at zero of the supply voltage wave, one at the positive peak, and one at the negative peak. The surge generator had a surge impedance of 50 ohms. The no load waveform of the surge generator was essentially as follows:

a) Initial rise time, 0.5 microseconds between 10 percent and 90 percent of peak amplitude,

b) The period of the following oscillatory wave, 10 microseconds, and

c)Each successive peak, 60 percent of the preceding peak.

Following the application of the surges, the sample was checked for proper functioning by pressing the “TEST” & “RESET” buttons.

RESULTS

The sample [did not] [did] trip after being subjected to the surges and was functional at the conclusion of the test. Lab Use Only: Sample # _____1 _____ [x]Ten random applications

SURGE IMMUNITY TEST (COMBINATION WAVE): UL943, 4th Ed./CSA 22.2 No. 144.1-06, Cl. 6.6.3

NOTE TO LAB TECHNICIAN: Consult Corporate Laboratory Procedural Guide before testing. All calibration waveforms are to be plotted and attached to the Data Sheet package.

METHOD

The same sample of the GFCI that was subjected to the Unwanted Tripping Test was subjected to the Surge Immunity Test. The sample was placed in the orientation to represent the most severe conditions of normal installation while in an unheated condition. It was then connected to a supply of rated voltage. Surge impulses were applied between the points indicated in the table at the 90 and the 270 degree points of the ac waveform. The test was conducted in accordance with the testing methods described in IEC61000-4-5 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Part 4-5: Testing and measurements techniques – Surge Immunity Test. Five impulses were applied in the positive direction and five impulses were applied in the negative direction at each point for a total of 20 impulses. If the GFCI tripped as a result of an impulse it was reset prior to the next impulse application. The wave shape specifications for each portion of the combination wave are as follows:

Open Circuit Voltage – 4 kV peak, 1.2 by 50 µs Short Circuit Current – 2 kA peak, 8 by 20 µs

During and after the surge application, the sample was examined for

a) Emission of flame, molten metal, glowing or flaming particles through any openings,(either preexisting or created during the test),

b) Ignition of the Enclosure, or c) Creation of an opening in the enclosure that results in accessibility of

live parts. Following the application of the surges, the sample was checked for proper functioning by pressing the “TEST” & “RESET” buttons.

A 1 A fuse was connected from the grounded supply conductor to the accessible conductive parts (metal foil). The sample was operated by depressing the ‘reset” button to turn the device “on” and depressing the “test” button to turn the device “off” at a rate of six operations a minute until a total of 3000 operations had been completed. [ ] The sample was operated an additional 3000 times using the manual switching means provided.

A previously untested sample of was connected using two 4-ft lengths of No. 12 AWG wire, to a 60 Hz supply with an open circuit voltage of 120 V(100-105% of rated), capable of producing or 2000 A at a power factor of 90 – 100%, when the supply terminals were short-circuited. The line circuit included a series 20A cartridge fuse. The grounded supply lead was connected to the accessible metal parts and ground pin through a 1 A fuse. Surgical cotton was placed over openings in the device. A 4 ft. length of No. 12AWG wire was connected between the hot load terminal and the grounded line terminal as a simulated ground fault. Current was initiated once by a remote switch in the supply circuit. At the conclusion of the above test, the sample was subjected to the Dielectric Withstand Test The test was repeated on a new sample except that current was initiated once by depressing the reset button to complete the circuit.

RESULTS I Sample 9 and 10 [x ] At the end of each test the unit was still operating normally and no adverse effects had been noted. The 1 A ground fuse was intact. [ ] The unit did not operate after the test and the 1A ground fuse was not intact. [ ] There was no]evidence of dielectric breakdown

METHOD II The test of Method I was repeated on [a new] [the same] sample except the 4 ft. wire was connected to the hot contact of the GFCI face by means of a suitably rated attachment plug.

SHORT CIRCUIT: UL943, 4th Ed./CSA 22.2 No. 144.1-06, Cl. 6.19

METHOD I

A new sample was connected using the circuit described previously in the Extra Low Resistance Ground Fault Test, except that the ground fault was removed. A 20 inch length of No.12 AWG wire was connected between the load terminals. The line circuit included a series 20 A cartridge fuse. The grounded supply lead was connected to the accessible metal parts and ground pin through a 1 A fuse. Surgical cotton was placed over openings in the device. Current was initiated once by a remote switch in the supply circuit. At the conclusion of the above test, the sample was subjected to the Dielectric Withstand Test

TEMPERATURE TEST

SAMPLE 15

UL943, 4th Ed./CSA 22.2 No. 144.1-06, Cl. 6.10

METHOD

The sample was connected as shown in Figure 24.1 of UL 943 using 12AWG wire. The line voltage was set to 120 V, 60 Hz, with the load at 20 A. The value of ground fault current was set to 3.5 mA by adjusting RB. [x] The sample was installed in an outlet box of appropriate size, in normal

orientation (see sketch). Temperatures were recorded by means of thermocouples attached to the points tabulated under “Results” until thermal equilibrium was attained. [ ] Coil temperatures were obtained by the change – in - resistance method. Acceptable Results Evaluated by Fred Reyes 4/22/2008

RESULTS The following temperatures were measured at the indicated locations:

Thermocouple Location Temperature ºC

Ambient Air 20

1. line hot terminal 54-20=34

2. Joint where Line hot busbar meets 62-20=42

3. line hot contact arm 56-20=36

4. Between D1 and PWB 51-20=31

5. Between R4 and PWB 75-20=55

6. Load Hot bus bar closest to Contact 54-20=34

7. Load hot terminal 48-20=28
