Pass & Seymour 1597 Series 125V Self-Test Tamper-Resistant GFCI Receptacle
The Pass & Seymour 1597 Series is a 125VAC Self-Test Tamper-Resistant GFCI Receptacle family, available in 15A (NEMA 5-15R) and 20A (NEMA 5-20R) configurations to match circuit requirements across residential and commercial installations. Every device in the series runs an automatic self-test every three seconds to confirm it is ready to protect, and if it fails, the red LED indicator flashes to signal replacement is needed while SafeLock™ Protection disconnects power to the receptacle if critical components are damaged and ground-fault protection is lost. Rated Class A with a 10kA short circuit rating and UL Listed to UL498, this GFCI meets National Electrical Code® Tamper-Resistant requirements and is FSUL Listed per Federal Specification WC596.
Key Features
- Electrical Rating: 125VAC, 60 Hz with a Supply Voltage Range of 102-132 VAC, offered in 15A and 20A ratings (NEMA 5-15R / 5-20R) for reliable receptacle protection.
- Feed-Thru Protection: 20 Amp feed-thru capacity allows the GFCI to protect downstream receptacles on the same circuit.
- Durable Construction: High-impact-resistant thermoplastic housing with an extra-long strap for secure box mounting.
- Fast Trip Response: 0.025 sec. nominal trip time per UL Standard with a Trip Threshold of 5 +/- 1 mA and 10kA short circuit rating.
- Tamper-Resistant Shutters: Patented shutter system helps prevent improper insertion of foreign objects, meeting NEC Tamper-Resistant requirements.
- Self-Test Monitoring: Automatic self-test every three seconds with a red LED trip indicator light and SafeLock™ Protection that disconnects power if protection is lost.
- Flexible Wiring: Two back-wire holes per terminal with side or internal screw-pressure-plate back wire for #10-#14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire.
- Miswire Protection: Prevents line-load reversal miswire, cutting power to the face and downstream receptacles if wired incorrectly.
