Pass & Seymour 1597-TR 15A 125V Self-Test GFCI Tamper-Resistant Receptacle

Pass & Seymour 1597-TR 15A 125V Self-Test GFCI Tamper-Resistant Receptacle

The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR Self-Test GFCI Tamper-Resistant Receptacle is rated 15A, 125VAC, 60Hz with a supply voltage range of 102-132 VAC, and delivers automatic self-testing every three seconds so the device is always verified ready to protect. This Class A rated GFCI is UL Listed (UL498) and cULus rated, meets 2015 UL requirements, and satisfies National Electrical Code Tamper-Resistant requirements for code-compliant installations. Feed-thru wiring with 20 Amp feed-thru capacity lets this receptacle protect downstream devices on the same circuit.

Key Features

• Self-Test Technology: Conducts an automatic test every three seconds; if the device fails, the indicator light flashes to signal replacement, backed by SafeLock™ Protection that disconnects power if critical components are damaged.
• Tamper-Resistant Design: Patented shutter system helps prevent improper insertion of foreign objects, meeting National Electrical Code Tamper-Resistant requirements.
• Electrical Rating: 15A, 125VAC, 60Hz supply voltage with a supply voltage range of 102-132 VAC and a 10kA short circuit rating.
• Feed-Thru Wiring: 20 Amp feed-thru capacity allows the GFCI to protect downstream receptacles from a single feed point.
• Flexible Wiring Options: Two back-wire holes per terminal plus side or internal screw-pressure-plate back wire accepts #10-#14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire.
• Trip Performance: Trip threshold of 5 +/- 1 mA and a nominal trip time of 0.025 sec. per UL Standard, with dual-direction test and reset buttons.
• Durable Construction: High-impact-resistant thermoplastic construction with an extra-long strap and button colors that match the device face.
• Installation-Friendly Features: Captive mounting screws in both device and wall plate, an Auto-Ground clip for positive ground to metal box, and a ground screw with back-wire clamp; includes a matching TP wall plate.
