For those Commercial GFCI Receptacles installed, Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems is advising end-user customers who have not
tested their GFCI Receptacles in the last thirty days to immediately conduct the following GFCI test to ensure their GFCI Receptacles

device can provide complete protection against the hazard of electric shock, a GFCI can provide a degree of protection by shutting off
the electricity in a circuit if it detects a current leakage.
