The accessory AC/DC power control module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI monitors the 110 volt AC circuit for the following conditions:

  • The hot circuit or the neutral circuit becomes shorted to the vehicle chassis ground
  • The current flow through the hot circuit and the neutral circuit differs from each other by greater than 6 mA

If either of the above conditions is detected, the accessory AC/DC power control module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF, until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 second delay.
