Answering Your Frequently Asked Questions
At Mr. Electric of Greer, we recognize our customers' questions regarding electrical installations, repairs, and ensuring safety. To address this, we've meticulously prepared a comprehensive FAQ section that delivers precise, straightforward responses. Whether your inquiries pertain to the essentials of GFCI outlet installation or the advantages offered by tamper-resistant outlets, rest assured, we're here to provide you with the insights necessary for making well-informed decisions:
Do GFCI outlets require tamper-resistant features?
The National Electrical Code (NEC) stipulates that all outlets rated at 15 or 20 amperes must be equipped with tamper-resistant mechanisms, including those outfitted with GFCI protection. GFCI outlets are designed to prevent hazardous ground faults by automatically cutting off the electrical current. When combined with tamper-resistant technology, which prevents the insertion of foreign objects, this layered protection strategy significantly bolsters safety within electrical installations.
Are tamper-resistant outlets considered child-proof?
Tamper-resistant outlets feature an innovative design incorporating a spring-loaded cover plate that only opens when equal pressure is applied to both slots, thus greatly reducing the chance of children inserting inappropriate items. However, it's important to note that while these outlets greatly enhance safety, supervising children around electrical outlets is still essential to prevent electricity-related risks.
