Example Of A GFCI Protected Outlet

GFCI Protected Outlets

What is it?
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet is a type of electrical outlet designed to enhance safety by protecting against electrical shocks and reducing the risk of electrical fires. It contains a built-in GFCI device that constantly monitors the flow of electricity through the circuit.
​
What is its purpose?
The main function of a GFCI is to detect imbalances in the electrical current between the hot (live) and neutral wires. If a person or an appliance accidentally becomes a path for electricity to flow to the ground (due to a fault, like a ground fault or short circuit), the GFCI rapidly interrupts the circuit, cutting off the power to prevent potential harm to people or damage to property.


In Summary:
These outlets are commonly used in areas with a higher risk of electrical accidents, such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor outlets, and near water sources, as they offer an extra layer of protection against electric shocks in these potentially hazardous locations. It's essential to test GFCI outlets periodically to ensure they are working correctly and providing the intended safety benefits.
