3070-GFI

The Woodhead Super-Safeway® 3070-GFI Multiple Outlet Box is engineered for robust and safe power distribution in demanding industrial and commercial settings. This unit is a critical component for ensuring reliable access to power where it's needed most, particularly in environments where safety is paramount. Its design prioritizes user protection and operational efficiency, making it an indispensable tool for a wide array of applications. At its core, the 3070-GFI features a NEMA 5-15 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle. This integrated GFCI protection is essential for preventing electrical shock hazards, a crucial consideration for any worksite or facility. The GFCI constantly monitors the electrical current and will rapidly shut off power if it detects an imbalance, such as current flowing through water or a person. This proactive safety measure significantly reduces the risk of serious injury or electrocution, a non-negotiable requirement in industries like construction, manufacturing, and maintenance. Further enhancing its utility and safety, the outlet box is equipped with a convenient flip lid that protects the receptacle from dust, moisture, and physical damage when not in use. This durable lid ensures the longevity and reliability of the electrical connection. The "Extended Depth" design of the Super-Safeway® box is a key differentiator, providing ample space to accommodate multiple connections and bulky plugs without strain or overcrowding. This thoughtful engineering simplifies setup and maintenance, especially when multiple devices need to be powered simultaneously. The 3070-GFI comes pre-wired with a substantial 1.83 meters (6.0 feet) of 12/3 SOOW cord. The 12-gauge wire offers excellent current-carrying capacity, suitable for powering a variety of tools and equipment, while the SOOW (Service, Oil-resistant, Weather-resistant, Outdoor) rating signifies its resilience against harsh environmental conditions, including oils, chemicals, and abrasion. This robust cable construction ensures dependable performance even in challenging outdoor or industrial environments. The integrated NEMA 5-15 plug provides a standard and secure connection to power sources. An integral feature of this multiple outlet box is the inclusion of an open neutral relay. This advanced safety mechanism ensures that the GFCI protection remains active even if the neutral wire becomes disconnected. This is a critical safety enhancement, as a simple loss of neutral could otherwise bypass GFCI protection, creating a dangerous situation. The open neutral relay guarantees that the circuit will not energize if the neutral connection is compromised, adding another layer of protection for users and equipment. Applications for the Woodhead Super-Safeway® 3070-GFI are extensive, including: * **Construction Sites:** Providing safe and accessible power for tools, lighting, and temporary equipment. * **Workshops and Garages:** Enabling multiple tool connections with enhanced safety. * **Industrial Maintenance:** Facilitating power for diagnostic equipment and repair tools. * **Temporary Power Installations:** Ideal for events, outdoor projects, or emergency power needs. * **Manufacturing Floors:** Distributing power to various workstations and machinery. Woodhead, a trusted name in electrical safety and power distribution, stands behind the quality and reliability of the Super-Safeway® line. Their commitment to rigorous testing and adherence to industry standards means you can depend on this outlet box for safe and consistent performance. The 3070-GFI is more than just an outlet box; it's a comprehensive power solution designed to enhance safety, improve efficiency, and provide peace of mind in any demanding application.
