Introduction
Fault Trapper™ is a new class of tester intended to locate the distance to a circuit anomaly that is either
intermittently causing a change in the circuit's characteristics or blowing the circuit breaker. Fault
Trapper™ can capture and save both types of events and saves them separately. If the circuit breaker
trips, the backup battery powers the Fault Trapper™ to allow for an orderly shutdown. The last faults
can be viewed using the battery power. The In-Line Adapter isolates the circuit being monitored from
the breaker panel and all other breakers.
This product should only be used by and connected/disconnected from circuit to be tested by qualified
service personnel or certified electricians.
Features
In line monitoring of branch circuits up to 300 VAC and 40 amps
