Eaton SGF15W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and receptacle configurations does the Eaton SGF Series self-test GFCI come in?
Two orderable versions of the Eaton SGF Series GFCI duplex receptacle: SGF15W is 15A with a 5-15R face in White, and SGF20V is 20A with a 5-20R face in Ivory. Both are rated 125V. Pick the amperage to match the branch circuit breaker and wire size, not the plug you happen to be holding. A 5-20R face accepts both 15A straight-blade and 20A T-slot plugs; a 5-15R face will not take a 20A plug.
2) Can I get the Eaton SGF GFCI in white at 20 amps?
No. Color and amperage are tied together on the SGF Series: the 15A 5-15R device is White (SGF15W) and the 20A 5-20R device is Ivory (SGF20V). If the job calls for a 20A GFCI, it comes Ivory. If every device on the wall has to be white, you're on the 15A 5-15R version.
3) What wire size will the Eaton SGF GFCI receptacle terminals take?
The terminals accept #14 through #10 AWG conductors, which covers 14 AWG on a 15A circuit, 12 AWG on a 20A circuit, and 10 AWG where a long home run was upsized for voltage drop. Both back wire and side wire terminations are provided, so you can land conductors from the rear in a crowded box or wrap the side screws.
4) What does self-test mean on this GFCI, and do I still have to push the test button monthly?
Self-test means the SGF Series runs its own ground-fault detection check continuously and shuts the receptacle down automatically if the protection circuit fails or a ground fault occurs, rather than relying on someone walking the building with a tester. For a property manager or MRO group with hundreds of outlets, that's the reason to spec it: a failed device takes itself out of service instead of sitting dead-faced and appearing fine. Manual test and reset buttons still work for verifying the device at turnover.
5) Will this GFCI fit a standard single-gang wall box with a normal decorator plate?
It's a flush-mount duplex device for standard wall boxes, wired from the back or the sides. Note it is a GFCI body, so it takes a GFCI/decorator style opening in the wallplate, not a two-hole duplex plate. Box fill is the thing to watch on a retrofit: GFCI bodies are deeper than a standard receptacle, so in a shallow old box you may need to back-wire and dress the conductors rather than side-wire them.
6) Is the Eaton SGF GFCI rated for commercial use or is it a residential device?
Eaton lists the SGF Series for both residential and commercial electrical systems. Construction is a polycarbonate housing with brass contacts, and the device is a two-pole, three-wire grounding type at 125V. For general-purpose commercial outlets, tenant improvements and multi-family units it's the right class of device. For heavy repetitive plug cycling on an industrial floor, look at a spec-grade or hospital-grade GFCI instead.
7) Can I use this GFCI to protect downstream outlets on the same circuit?
The SGF Series is a two-pole, three-wire grounding duplex GFCI with back and side wire terminals, so it wires as a standard line/load GFCI: feed the line terminals and take the downstream receptacles off the load terminals to put them under the same protection. Match the device amperage to the circuit, 15A 5-15R or 20A 5-20R, and keep the conductor within the #14 to #10 AWG terminal range.
8) I'm replacing an older GFCI that keeps nuisance tripping. Which SGF part number do I order?
Match what's on the breaker and the existing face. If the circuit is 20A and the old outlet had the T-shaped neutral slot, order SGF20V (Ivory). If it's a 15A circuit with a straight-slot face, order SGF15W (White). Both take #14 to #10 AWG and land at 125V, so the existing branch wiring terminates without change. The self-test function also means a device that has genuinely failed will lock itself out instead of tripping intermittently.
