Leviton Telcom GSCA1-3TC Portable Self-test Gfci Cord 15A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM GSCA1-3TC is a portable self-testing ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) cord designed to provide personnel protection against ground fault hazards in the field. The unit automatically tests its own internal protection circuitry and is rated at 15 amps, making it suitable for use with standard 120-volt receptacles. Electricians and electrical contractors deploy this type of portable GFCI where temporary power protection is required at a job site or during service work. The self-test function monitors the device continuously, alerting the user if protection is compromised.

This portable GFCI cord is well suited for residential and light commercial job sites where a permanently installed GFCI receptacle is not available or practical. Typical applications include outdoor electrical work, construction sites, renovation projects, and any temporary power setup requiring NEC-compliant ground fault protection. The cord-style form factor allows the unit to be moved from outlet to outlet as work progresses, without requiring any wall device installation.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a portable GFCI protection device for use with standard 15-amp, 120-volt outlets on residential and light commercial job sites.

Installation Notes

This device is installed by plugging it into an existing 15-amp receptacle — no wiring or tools are required for setup. Electricians should verify the receptacle is de-energized or exercise standard live-circuit precautions before handling. Test the GFCI function at each new location before connecting downstream equipment. Follow applicable NEC requirements for temporary power and GFCI protection on construction sites.
