ELECTRICAL SAFETY TEST #7

TEST OF GROUND FAULT CURRENT INTERRUPTER USING SIMULATED FAULT

PURPOSE: To confirm that ground fault current interrupters (GFCI) are functional.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Test instrument or device that simulates line-to-ground fault (5


microamps resistive test load.)

PERFORMED BY: Engineering staff

PROCEDURE: Plug test instrument or resistive test load into each GFCI receptacle or one
receptacle of a GFCI-monitored circuit
and verify that the device trips when the switch on the test instrument or test device is
activated.

Reset breaker after test.

ACTION: Report all defects to the engineering department as soon as possible using the
appropriate work order form. Caution
should be used in the area until the defect has been repaired.
