Littelfuse, Inc.

A new ingredient for your safety recipe. Littelfuse provides a broad portfolio of protection, control and sensing products. In commercial kitchens, the combination of a wet environment, stainless steel equipment and conductive surfaces creates a situation where shock is more likely to occur.

Equipment such as fryers, mixing equipment and electric ranges must be movable to meet sanitation standards, requiring plugs to be used. Flexible cords are prone to wear and tear over time, and worn insulation increases a worker’s risk for electrical shock.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) 2017 version and later now requires using a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), like the Littelfuse SB5000 Shock Block, for 208 V three-phase applications up to 100 A. Its use on this equipment will protect your employees from electric shock and ensure code compliance.
