Default GFCI device

Just to be clearer, the GFCI device to which I am referring does not
include any receptacles. It has just the Reset/Test switches. The
one installed here is located adjacent to the circuit breaker panel in
my basement, secured to the overhead joist. It supplies power to the
Panasonic fan motor, the two 13 watt florescent lamps via a ballast
transformer, and a 4 watt incadescent bulb.

I do not know the cost of this device, but the electrician that
installed it mentioned that a 15 ampere GFCI circuit breaker would be
about 130$us. I will search for a (Leviton) part number and attempt
to obtain local pricing info to satisfy my curiosity.

I am located on Long Island in New York.


Apparently, this device is a Leviton 8895-01x and is described here
http://www.leviton.com/pdfs/gfci/GFCI_Brochure.pdf as a SmartLock High
Current GFCI, on page 14. The markings on the actual item are too
small for me to read. Next trip w/magnifying glass ...
