Pentair 2-Pole GFCI Circuit Breaker PA220GF

To avoid accidental electrocution, a ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI) can help prevent electrocution. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) circuit breakers work extremely fast and at much more sensitive thresholds than conventional household circuit breakers. If a person’s body starts to receive a shock, the GFCI senses this and cuts off the power before he/she can get injured. GFCIs are generally installed where electrical circuits may accidentally come into contact with water. GFCIs are required by the National Electric Code (NEC) standards for pool pumps. These GFCI breakers are the right choice in load centers supporting IntelliTouch and EasyTouch Control Systems. It has an additional safety of 6 milliamp personnel protection. Meets 2008 to current NEC standards for pool pumps. Works in any breaker base that is approved for use with Siemens QPF style breakers. Designed to protect personnel exposed to ground fault in AC, DC and mixed AC/DC systems where levels exceed 6 milliamps. Siemens is a registered trademark of Siemens Aktiengesellshaft.
