Wahi a ka General Electrical Home Inspection Standards of Practice, "E nānā ka mea nānā i nā pahu hoʻokuʻu kaapuni hewa a pau i nānā ʻia a manaʻo ʻia he GFCI me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi hōʻike GFCI, inā hiki… a me nā pahu, me nā pahu i nānā ʻia a i manaʻo ʻia he arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI)-pale ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke pihi hōʻike AFCI, inā hiki.Pono nā mea nānā hale e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā lākou iho i ka ʻike ma lalo nei e hoʻomaopopo hou i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana i ka nānā pono a me ka noʻonoʻo o nā GFCI a me nā AFCI.
Nā Kuleana
No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā GFCI a me nā AFCI, pono e ʻike i kekahi mau wehewehe.He ʻāpana o ka ʻōnaehana uila, ʻaʻole ka uwea conductor, nāna e lawe a mālama paha i ka uila.ʻO ke kuapo kukui he laʻana o kahi mea hana.ʻO kahi puka puka kahi wahi i loko o ka ʻōnaehana uwea kahi e hiki ai ke hoʻolako i nā lako.No ka laʻana, hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia kahi mea holoi ipu i loko o kahi puka i loko o ka pahu pahu.ʻO kahi inoa ʻē aʻe no kahi puka uila he pahu uila.
He aha ka GFCI?
He mea hoʻohana ʻia i ka uwila uila no ka wehe ʻana i kahi kaapuni ke ʻike ʻia ke au kaulike ʻole ma waena o kahi mea hoʻokele ikaika a me kahi alakaʻi hoʻihoʻi kū ʻole.ʻO ia ʻano kaulike ʻole i kekahi manawa ma muli o ka "leaking" o kēia manawa ma o ke kanaka e pili pū ana me kahi ʻāina a me kahi ʻāpana ikaika o ke kaapuni, hiki ke hopena i ka haʻalulu make.Hoʻolālā ʻia nā GFCI e hāʻawi i ka pale i kēlā ʻano kūlana, ʻaʻole like me nā mea hoʻokaʻawale kaapuni maʻamau, e kiaʻi ana i ka overloads, nā pōkole pōkole a me nā hemahema o ka honua.
He aha ka AFCI?
ʻO Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) he ʻano kūikawā o nā pahu uila a i ʻole nā waho a me nā mea haki kaapuni i hoʻolālā ʻia e ʻike a pane aku i nā arcs uila hiki ke pōʻino i ka uwea lālā home.E like me ka mea i hoʻolālā ʻia, hana ʻo AFCI ma ka nānā ʻana i ke ʻano nalu uila a wehe koke (ke hoʻopau) i ke kaapuni a lākou e lawelawe ai inā ʻike lākou i nā loli i ke ʻano nalu i ʻike ʻia i kahi arc weliweli.Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻano nalu pōʻino (nā arcs e hoʻoulu ai i ke ahi), ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā AFCI e hoʻokaʻawale i nā arcs maʻamau.ʻO kahi laʻana o kēia arc ke hoʻāla ʻia ke kī a i ʻole ke huki ʻia kahi plug mai kahi pahu.Hiki ke ʻike, ʻike ʻia, a pane ʻia e nā AFCI nā loli liʻiliʻi loa i nā ʻano nalu.
2015 International Residential Code (IRC) Koi no GFCI a me AFCI
E ʻoluʻolu e nānā i ka Pauku E3902 o ka 2015 IRC e pili ana i nā GFCI a me nā AFCI.
Manaʻo ʻia ka pale GFCI no kēia:
- 15- a me 20-amp lumi kuke countertop pahu a puka waho no ka holoi ipu;
- 15- a me 20-amp lumi holoi a me nā pahu holoi;
- 15- a me 20-amp pahu ma loko o 6 kapuaʻi o ka ʻaoʻao o waho o kahi paila, ʻauʻau a ʻauʻau paha;
- nā papahele i hoʻomehana ʻia e ka uila i loko o nā lumi ʻauʻau, nā lumi kuke, a me nā pahu hydromassage, nā spa, a me nā ʻauʻau wela;
- 15- a me 20-amp o waho, pono e loa'a ka pale GFCI, koe wale no na pahu hiki ole ke komo i hoohana ia no na lako hoohehee hau no ka manawa a aia ma kahi kaapuni laa;
- 15- a me 20-amp i loko o nā hale kaʻa a me nā hale mālama ʻole;
- 15- a me 20-amp i loko o nā hale waʻa a me 240-volt a emi mai ma nā hoists waʻa;
- 15- a me 20-amp i loko o nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i hoʻopau ʻole ʻia, koe naʻe nā ʻeke no ke ahi a i ʻole nā alila ʻaihue;a
- 15- a me 20-amp i loko o nā wahi kolo ma lalo o ka ʻili honua.
Pono e hoʻokomo ʻia nā GFCI a me nā AFCI ma nā wahi hiki ke ʻike ʻia no ka mea he mau pihi hoʻāʻo ko lākou e pono ke kaomi i kēlā me kēia manawa.Manaʻo nā mea hana i nā mea nona ka hale a me nā mea nānā e hoʻāʻo a hoʻololi paha i nā mea wāwahi a me nā pahu i kēlā me kēia manawa e kōkua i ka hana pono o nā ʻāpana uila.
Manaʻo ʻia ka pale ʻana o ka AFCI ma 15- a me 20-amp outlets ma nā lālā kaapuni no nā lumi moe, nā keʻena keʻena, nā lua, nā lumi ʻaina, nā lumi ʻohana, nā alaloa, nā lumi kuke, nā wahi holoi lole, nā hale waihona puke, nā lumi noho, nā keʻena, nā lumi hoʻokipa, a me nā lumi lā.
Pono e mālama ʻia nā lumi like ʻole e kekahi o kēia mau mea:
- i hoʻokomo ʻia kahi ʻano hui pū ʻana no ka kaapuni lālā holoʻokoʻa.Pono ka 2005 NEC i nā AFCI ʻano hui like, akā ma mua o Ianuali 1, 2008, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā AFCI ʻano lālā/feeder-type.
- he lālā/mea hānai-ʻano uhai AFCI i hoʻokomo ʻia ma ka papa i hui pū ʻia me kahi pahu AFCI ma ka pahu puka mua ma ke kaapuni.
- i hoʻokomo ʻia kahi mea hoʻokaʻawale arc-protection circuit breaker (ʻaʻole i hana hou ʻia) ma ka panel i hui pū ʻia me kahi pahu AFCI i hoʻokomo ʻia ma ka puka mua, kahi i hoʻokō ʻia ai nā kūlana a pau:
- ke hoʻomau nei ka uwea ma waena o ka mea haʻihaʻi a me ka puka AFCI;
- ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka uwila ma mua o 50 kapuaʻi no ka uwea anana 14, a me 70 kapuaʻi no ka uwea anana 12;a
- hōʻailona ʻia ka pahu puka mua ma ke ʻano he puka mua.
- kahi pahu AFCI i helu ʻia i hoʻokomo ʻia ma ka puka mua ma ke kaapuni i hui pū ʻia me kahi hāmeʻa pale overcurrent i helu ʻia, kahi i hoʻokō ʻia ai nā kūlana a pau:
- mau ka uwea ma waena o ka mea hana a me ka pahu;
- ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka uwila ma mua o 50 kapuaʻi no ka uea 14-anana a me 70 kapuaʻi no ka uea 12-anana;
- ua kahaia ka puka mua ma ke ano he puka mua;a
- ʻike ʻia ka hui ʻana o ka mea pale overcurrent a me ka pahu AFCI i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā koi no ka AFCI ʻano hui.
- kahi pahu AFCI a me ke ala wili kila;a
- kahi pahu AFCI a me ka hoʻopaʻa paʻa.
Hōʻuluʻulu manaʻo
I ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana, e hōʻoia i ka hana pono ʻana o nā mea haʻihaʻi kaapuni a me nā pahu, pono nā mea hale a me nā mea nānā hale e hoʻokele i kēlā me kēia manawa a hoʻāʻo paha i nā ʻāpana uila no ka hana kūpono.Pono ka hoʻonui hou ʻana o ka IRC i ka pale GFCI a me AFCI no nā pahu 15- a me 20-amp.Pono nā mea nānā hale e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā lākou iho i kēia mau alakaʻi hou e hōʻoia i ka hoʻāʻo kūpono a me ka nānā ʻana i nā GFCI a me nā AFCI.
