Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE-Electrical Installation and Maintenance 10 on Types of

Wiring Devices Ground Fault Interrupter (Part 2)

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

ground guard shock

The GFCI is designed to __________ people and pets from severe or even fatal,
electrical shock. A GFCI detects __________ faults and interrupts the flow of electric
current. Picture a hair dryer that is accidentally knocked off a bathroom counter
and into a bathtub __________with water. The GFCI will stop the __________ of
electricity within milliseconds when the hair dryer hits the surface of the water. If
someone was in the bath tub, a painful __________ may still be felt but the GFCI
will prevent their electrocution or serious injury.

LESSON

Based on the BFP report, the top 3 causes of fire in our country are
faulty electrical connections, lit cigarette butts, and open flames from
unattended stoves, according to the BFP. (https://cutt.ly/5kgCOGQ)

Fire and Electric shocks can be prevented by the use of Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help
prevent electrocution. If a person’s body starts to receive a shock, the GFCI
senses this and cuts off the power before injury occurs.

GFCIs are generally installed where electrical circuits may get into
contact with water. They are most frequently found in kitchens, bath and
laundry rooms, or maybe out-of-doors or with in the garage where electric
power tools may well be used.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Information

Outdoor receptacles including

those in kitchens, bathrooms, and
places near the water should be the
ground fault circuit interrupting
type (GFCI).

A ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) could be
modestly priced device commonly
installed in residential electrical
circuits.

 TLE-EIM10Q3M5page8

The GFCI is intended to protect people and pets from severe or

perhaps fatal, electrical shock. A GFCI detects ground faults and interrupts
the flow of electrical current. Picture a blow drier that is accidentally
knocked off a bathroom counter and into a bathtub filled with water. The
GFCI will stop the flow of electricity within milliseconds when the hair dryer
hits the surface of the water. If someone was in the bath tub, a painful
shock will still be felt but the GFCI will prevent their electrocution or serious
injury.

The GFCI will “sense” the difference with in the amount of electricity flowing
into the circuit to that flowing out, even in amounts of current as small as 4 or 5
milliamps. The GFCI reacts quickly (less than one-tenth of a second) to trip or shut
off the circuit.

Guide to pick out wiring devices

1. Select one recognized industry manufacturer.
2. Look for a project with a multi-year warranty.
3. Make sure that there is an easy and clear way to contact the
manufacturers support.
4. Check for a connected equipment damage warranty.
5. Always ask for manufacturer’s manual.
6. Select wiring devices which are well-made and durable.
7. Select materials that are easy to use and install.
8. Select wiring devices according to the job requirements.
