In a previous discussion I mentioned troubleshooting and fixing issues in a rough looking parking lot that was wired from service to receptacles with aluminum. The main problem was that the neutral conductor feeding 3 pedestals popped loose creating voltages downstream ranging from about 50V to 240V. Of the receptacles affected two were GFCI. After correcting the lost neutral the GFCI's failed to reset. After talking to the owner I suggested replacing the GFCI receptacles with standard 15A commercial grade. Since I had never seen the insides of a GFCI receptacle I decided to take the two home and tear them apart. Today I finally found some time to get at it and while doing so I noticed the name "3 Grace" on the back. When I look at basic electrical components I usually expect to see one of the common names like T&B, Leviton, Hubbell, P&S, etc. I did a Google search and traced the product to a company in China called
Zhejiang trimone electric science and technology co. Here's what it states on their website:

I've never seen this brand name before and I was wondering if anyone else had knowledge of it?
