Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(GFCI) with intellectual end-of-life auto-monitoring function

Our newly invention GFCI receptacles have got the new 2006 UL approval and they exceed 2006 UL requirements. GFCI is technically well known, it is designed to protect the user from eletrocution when hazardous ground fault presents. Electronic and mechanical components failure may occur for a variety of reasons. For example, failure may occur because of the normal aging of electronic components. Mechanical parts may become corrode, or experience mechanical wear. Devices may fall because of mechanical abuse, or because they are overload when installed. Electrical power surges, Such as from lightning, also may result in failure. The sensor, the detector, the switch, trip mechanism, and/or power supply may fail. In the prior art, protective devices are often equipped with a test button to determine the operating condition of the device. The test button may be actuated periodically to determine the condition of the device. The test result may be indicated in a variety of ways. For example, the test result indicator may be a button that is configured to pop out of the device, the test indicator may be a visual display, such as a lamp or a sound generated by an annunciator, Unfortunately, the above approach does not provide the user with any indication when the device is at the end of its useful life, In order to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages, we broke though the limitation of traditional technology, invented a kind of novel, intellectual monitoring system to detect the end-of-life of GFCI. Thus, when the above mentioned failure occurs, the intellectual monitoring system will provide an end-of-life alarm indication to communicate to the user that the GFCI has reached end of life, or mechanical failure occurs in the device, the auto-monitoring multiprotection function will trip the GFCI to cut off the power supply automatically. Besides, the product has power-failure and reverse miswiring protection functions (Refer to instruction for detailed description)

GFCI Applications:
GFCI should be used anywhere a water source is present or an electrical shock is likely to occur. Be sure to install GFCI in the loactions such as: Outdoor receptacle or fixture, kitchen, bathroom, garage, basement, hospital, hygiene equipment-laundry room, school, airport, office, pool, water pipe, and so on.
