Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention a multi-chamber GFCI housing apparatus is provided. The multi-chamber GFCI housing includes a printed circuit board (PCB) chamber and an isolated cable chamber; each chamber is independently accessible and water resistant. In addition, the relative volumes, of each independent chamber permit sufficient housing volume to allow for sufficient spacing between electrical GFCI components and electrical PCB traces to prevent the risk of arcing between the components while also adhering to constrained dimensions according to electrical codes and standards.
