Can anyone provide a link or information that would give a time line for GFCI functions as required to be listed? I believe my question is related to class "A" GFCIs but I don't know the meaning of class "A". Perhaps someone could address that as well.
There are two classes of GFCIs - Class A and Class B. The Class A GFCI trips at not more than 5 mA. The Class A GFCI is used where personal protection against ground fault is required or desired.
The Class B GFCI trips when the current exceeds 20 mA. The latter is only used with swimming pool underwater lighting fixtures that were installed prior to local adoption of the 1965 edition of the NEC.
