NEMA 5-15P GFCI Power Cord, 15A 125V Inline Ground Fault Interrupter Cable

Inline GFCI Extension Cord with NEMA 5-15 Plug: OSHA-Compliant Portable Protection for 15A/125V Job Sites

Provide immediate worksite electrical safety with our heavy-duty NEMA 5-15P GFCI Power Cord. This complete, portable protection system combines a standard NEMA 5-15P male plug, a rugged inline GFCI module with Test/Reset buttons, and a 14/3 SJTW cable terminated with a NEMA 5-15R receptacle. UL 943 Class A listed and rated for 15A, 125V, it delivers compliant ground-fault protection for power tools, temporary lighting, and equipment in construction, maintenance, and outdoor applications, directly addressing OSHA 1926.404 requirements.

Why Choose Our Inline GFCI Extension Cord?

Jobsite safety managers and equipment renters face the constant risk of non-compliant temporary power setups. Our cord provides a verified, easy-to-deploy solution that ensures GFCI protection is present at the point of use, eliminating reliance on potentially faulty or non-existent GFCI outlets and protecting personnel from lethal shock hazards.

UL-Listed, Jobsite-Ready Safety

This is not an adapter or a modified device; it is a fully UL 943 listed assembly with its own UL file number (EXXXXXX). This certification is critical for compliance inspections on commercial and industrial job sites and provides verifiable evidence of due diligence in providing a safe working environment.

Durable, All-Weather Construction

Engineered for harsh conditions. The GFCI module features a sealed, high-impact ABS housing that is weather-resistant. The 14/3 SJTW cable jacket is oil, water, and abrasion-resistant with excellent cold flexibility. The entire assembly is built to withstand daily jobsite abuse, drops, and exposure to the elements.

Instant Protection Without Installation

Requires no electrician or permanent installation. Simply plug the male end into any standard 15A/125V outlet. The GFCI module instantly provides protection for any tool or device plugged into its downstream receptacle. The bright LED indicator (green=protected, red=tripped) gives clear, visible status feedback.

Professional Applications You Can Trust

Essential for construction contractors and facility maintenance teams. Use to safely power circular saws, drills, grinders, and temporary string lights in areas without permanent GFCI protection, such as new builds, renovations, outdoor work areas, and damp locations like basements or crawl spaces. It is a core component of a compliant Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) program for electrically powered equipment.

Critical for equipment rental companies (e.g., pressure washers, industrial vacuums, concrete mixers). Supplying this GFCI cord as a mandatory accessory with every rental unit transfers the safety compliance burden to a certified device, reducing liability and ensuring your customers can operate the equipment safely on any standard outlet.

Advanced Safety Features

The module employs a "true GFCI" design that continuously monitors the current differential between the hot and neutral wires. If a leakage of 5mA or more is detected (a fraction of the current needed to cause cardiac arrest), it interrupts the circuit in less than 25 milliseconds. The manual reset function is crucial for safety as it requires user intervention after a fault, forcing investigation of the cause before re-energizing the circuit.

Integrated End-of-Life (EOL) protection is a key differentiator. If the GFCI's internal monitoring circuitry fails, the EOL circuit will permanently trip the device, and the RESET button will not function. This fail-safe design prevents the cord from supplying power without protection, a critical feature that meets the latest UL standards and is often missing in cheaper, non-compliant products.

Manufacturing Excellence

Assembled in our dedicated safety products facility, which follows strict UL-defined component control and production line testing protocols. Every GFCI module is calibrated and tested at multiple current levels before assembly. Each finished cord undergoes a 100% final quality gate: continuity check, 1500V dielectric withstand test, and a functional trip test at precisely 5mA using calibrated equipment. This ensures zero defect shipping for safety-critical products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the cord provide surge protection or defend against overcurrent?

A: No. This is a dedicated Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter. It protects against leakage current to ground (electric shock hazard), not voltage spikes or overcurrent. It will not trip for an overload or short circuit; those protections must be provided by the upstream branch circuit breaker. It is designed to work in series with standard circuit protection.

Q: Can I plug two high-draw tools into the duplex receptacle on the end?

A> Yes, but the total combined load must not exceed the cord's 15A, 1875W rating. For example, you could run a 12A miter saw and a 3A shop vacuum simultaneously (total 15A). Exceeding the rating will cause the upstream breaker to trip, not the GFCI. We recommend load management on high-draw tools.

Q: What is the difference between this and a GFCI wall outlet?

A: Functionally, they perform the same protection. The primary advantages of this inline cord are portability (usable anywhere) and that it protects the entire length of its own cord from the GFCI module to the tool, which a wall outlet does not. It's ideal for temporary setups and retrofitting protection to existing equipment.

Q: What is your warranty and policy for failed units?

A> We offer a standard 2-year replacement warranty from the date of shipment. In the rare event of a failure, we have a documented return-and-analysis process. Units that fail due to a manufacturing defect are replaced. We also provide technical support to help diagnose issues related to the connected load or wiring.

Custom Solutions for Your Business

We support major rental companies, contractors, and OEMs with branded and custom-configured GFCI cords. Options include custom cable lengths and colors (e.g., bright orange for high-visibility), custom printing/molding of your company logo on the GFCI housing, private labeling, and special packaging for kit inclusion. We can also manufacture cords with auto-reset modules or different end connectors (like L5-30 or TT-30) for specific industrial applications.
