These products were designed to give you maximum protection from fires brought about by “faulty electrical wiring.”
Normally, one branch circuit with 30 ampere circuit breaker, will have 10 or more convenience outlets connected to it. The problem is, if the load connected to one of the convenience outlets is faulted, the current is not sufficient to cause its circuit breaker to trip. Therefore, power will not be cut-off and the burning will continue.
Let us take an electric fan for example, which by the way is one of the major reasons for fires. If the motor gets stuck and the fan is left on, overload is sure to happen. Since the current is way below the 30 ampere capacity of the circuit breaker where the convenience outlet is connected, then power will not be cut-off. The result, we know, is detrimental.
By using our PROTECTIVE ADAPTERS & COs with rating as low as 1 ampere, cases like the above will be prevented. Power will be terminated from the outlets and the overloaded appliance will be shut off. The result is PEACE OF MIND.
We recommend the Convenience Outlets for new constructions and the Adapters for those who do not wish to change their existing ones. YOU HAVE READ A LOT about how simple “CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS” have caused fires resulting to deaths. If they have only used our PROTECTIVE ADAPTERS and COs , their loved-ones would still be alive.
