Industrial GFCIs
Portable Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are essential safety devices designed to protect users from electrical shock in temporary and mobile power applications. RSP Supply carries a full line of Ericson portable GFCIs, including industrial-grade and watertight models built for demanding job site conditions. These devices interrupt power within milliseconds of detecting a ground fault, significantly reducing the risk of injury when using power tools and equipment.
Unlike permanently installed GFCI outlets or breakers, portable GFCIs provide flexible protection wherever power is needed. They are commonly used on construction sites, maintenance projects, outdoor work areas, and remote locations where temporary electrical connections are required. Plug-and-play designs allow quick integration into existing power sources, ensuring tools and lighting are protected even in environments prone to moisture, dust, and heavy use.
Ericson portable GFCIs are designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. Many models include features such as fault status indicators, durable housings, and compliance with UL 943 and applicable NEC requirements. By allowing users to bring ground fault protection directly to the work area, portable GFCIs help maintain electrical safety in situations where fixed protection is not available.
