Answering Your Frequently Asked Questions
At Mr. Electric of Newark, we understand our customers' concerns about electrical installations and safety standards. That's why we've created an extensive FAQ section to answer your most pressing questions clearly and concisely. Whether you need information about GFCI outlet installation or the benefits of tamper-resistant outlets, you can rely on us for the knowledgeable insights necessary to make informed choices. Below are some commonly asked questions we receive from clients:
Do GFCI outlets need tamper-resistant features?
According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), all outlets rated at 15 or 20 amperes must have tamper-resistant mechanisms, including those with GFCI protection. GFCI outlets are made to prevent dangerous ground faults by automatically shutting off the electrical current. When paired with tamper-resistant technology, which blocks the insertion of foreign objects, this dual-layered protection significantly enhances safety in electrical systems.
Are tamper-resistant outlets child-proof?
Tamper-resistant outlets are designed with a spring-loaded cover plate that only opens when equal pressure is applied to both slots, greatly minimizing the risk of children inserting inappropriate objects. However, while these outlets considerably improve safety, it's important to supervise children around electrical outlets to prevent electricity-related accidents entirely.
