According to NEC article 590.6(A) “All 125V 15A, 20A and 30A receptacles that are not part of the permanent wiring of the building or structure shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel.”
Hazardous locations are no exception.
The Appleton 20 Amp 125 Vac portable U-Lineâ„¢ receptacle and GFCI is the best solution for use in Class I, Division 1 and 2 Hazardous Locations, such as oil refineries, fueling areas and chemical plants. It delivers open neutral protection to safeguard plant personnel against the risk of electrical shock, while also protecting the connected apparatus against damage from short circuits and current overload. In addition to use in hazardous locations, it also meets UL and CSA requirements for non-hazardous locations, including marinas, docks and other wet applications.
The U-Line portable receptacle and GFCI is made of lightweight copper-free aluminum and weighs just 7.5 lbs. It features a GFCI designed in accordance to OSHA requirements for 20 amp receptacles, along with a built-in carrying handle and a heavy-duty 3-foot SO power cord with a U-Line 20A NEMA 5-20P plug. A highly visible pilot light indicates the GFCI is engaged and that the receptacle is ready for use. Pilot lights are available in green or red, LED or incandescent.
