发明名称 Underwater light junction box having a GFCI
摘要 The present invention provides an improved underwater light junction box which incorporates a ground fault circuit interrupter. The electrical junction box includes a cover and a ground fault circuit interrupter securely positioned between the cover and a base attachable to the cover. A switch of the ground fault circuit interrupter is aligned with a cover aperture and an overlying flexible, window. The ground fault circuit interrupter preferably has a bracket attached thereto for securing it to an inner surface of the side of the cover having the aperture to secure the ground fault circuit interrupter within the cover and properly align the switch with the cover's aperture. In order to retrofit an existing junction box so as to incorporate a ground fault circuit interrupter, the lid from the existing junction box is first removed. The electrical connections between the underwater illuminating light are disconnected from other electrical connections and connected to the ground fault circuit interrupter. A gasket is placed over the base and the cover is then secured to the base. In the event the base is nonconforming to the cover, an adapter plate having a predetermined number of apertures at predefined locations within the adapter plate is utilized.
