    There are two types of GFCI devices: Class A breaks the circuit at 4-6 milliamps of ground fault current for personal protection, while Class B breaks at over 20 milliamps. GFCIs must be installed in humid areas and other locations that increase a person's vulnerability to electric shock, such as near water. A GFCI outlet is a safety device that disconnects power within seconds if it detects ground fault current to prevent electric shock.

    WHAT IS A GFCI OUTLET?


    WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL A GFCI OUTLET?

    It is a snap-acting power interrupter


    for protection against electric shock circuit designed to disconnect
    caused by ground fault current, electrical power in the event of a
    which can be fatal to human life ground fault within a short second.
