Airstream installs a ground fault circuit interrupter to protect several outlets on the
trailer.
When properly installed, the GFCI circuit breaker provides reliable overload and short
circuit protection PLUS protection from Ground Faults that might result from contact
with a “HOT”’ load wire and ground.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The GFCI circuit breaker will NOT reduce shock hazard if contact
is made between a “HOT” load wire and a neutral wire or 2 “HOT” load wires.
Each GFCI circuit breaker is calibrated to trip with a ground current of 5 milliamperes
or more. Since most persons can feel as little as 2 milliamperes, a distinct shock may
be felt if the need for protection exists. However, the shock should be of such short
duration that the effects would be reduced to less than the normally dangerous level.
However, persons with acute heart problems or other conditions that can make a
person particularly susceptible to electric shock may still be seriously injured.
While the GFCI circuit
breaker affords a high
degree of protection,
there is no substitute
for the knowledge
that electricity can be
dangerous when care-
lessly handled or used
without reasonable
caution.
The breaker panel in your trailer has a label
installed to designate circuit specific to the
trailer.
