Woodhead 30053-25M Super-Safeway® In-Line Industrial GFCI, Manual Reset, NEMA L6-30, 30A, 240V, 7.62m…

The **Woodhead Super-Safeway® In-Line Industrial GFCI (SKU: 30053-25M)** is a rugged, high-performance ground fault circuit interrupter engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and heavy-duty workshops, this NEMA L6-30 rated device delivers uncompromising protection against ground faults, arc faults, and electrical hazards. With a **30A, 240V** rating, it ensures reliable operation in high-current applications while maintaining compliance with OSHA, NEC, and other global safety standards. The **7.62m (25.0') cord length** provides exceptional installation flexibility, allowing for easy repositioning of equipment without sacrificing safety or performance. Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are critical components in any industrial electrical system, designed to detect imbalances in current flow that could indicate a ground fault—such as a live wire contacting a conductive surface or a person. The **Super-Safeway® In-Line Industrial GFCI** excels in these applications by offering **instantaneous tripping** upon detecting a ground fault as low as **5mA**, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock, equipment damage, or fire hazards. Unlike standard GFCIs, this industrial-grade model features a **manual reset**, ensuring that power is only restored after a deliberate intervention, which prevents accidental re-energization of hazardous conditions. This is particularly valuable in high-traffic areas where unauthorized personnel might otherwise restore power prematurely. **Key Features and Benefits:** - **NEMA L6-30 Connection:** The **L6-30** configuration is a locking-type plug and receptacle rated for **240V, 30A** applications, ensuring a secure and stable connection even in vibration-prone environments like construction sites or manufacturing floors. This design minimizes the risk of accidental disconnection, which could otherwise lead to equipment downtime or safety hazards. - **Manual Reset Mechanism:** Unlike automatic reset GFCIs, the manual reset feature provides an additional layer of safety by requiring an operator to physically reset the device after a fault. This prevents unintended power restoration, which is critical in industrial settings where unauthorized personnel may be present. - **Extended 7.62m Cord Length:** The **25-foot cord** offers unparalleled flexibility for positioning equipment, tools, or temporary power distribution systems. Whether used with welders, power tools, or temporary lighting setups, the extended length reduces the need for extension cords or additional wiring, streamlining installation and reducing clutter. - **Industrial-Grade Durability:** Constructed with **high-impact, corrosion-resistant materials**, the Super-Safeway® GFCI is built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments. It resists moisture, dust, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability even in outdoor or exposed applications. - **Compliance and Certification:** This GFCI meets **UL 943** (Standard for Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters) and **CSA C22.2 No. 144** standards, making it suitable for use in North American markets. Its design also aligns with **OSHA 1910.304** and **NEC Article 590** requirements for temporary power installations, providing peace of mind for safety-conscious professionals. **Typical Applications:** The **Woodhead Super-Safeway® In-Line Industrial GFCI** is ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including: - **Construction Sites:** Temporary power distribution for tools, welders, and lighting systems. The **manual reset** ensures safety in high-risk areas where multiple contractors may be working. - **Manufacturing Facilities:** Protection for machinery, conveyor systems, and robotic equipment where ground faults could cause costly downtime or equipment damage. - **Workshops and Garages:** Reliable power for heavy-duty power tools, paint booths, and other equipment requiring **240V, 30A** service. - **Outdoor Events and Temporary Installations:** Ideal for concerts, festivals, or construction trailers where temporary power distribution must meet strict safety standards. - **Mining and Oil & Gas:** Rugged enough for harsh environments, this GFCI provides critical protection in areas with high electrical hazards. **Why Choose Woodhead?** Woodhead is a **trusted name in industrial electrical safety**, with over **75 years of experience** in manufacturing high-quality wiring devices, connectors, and safety solutions.
