A "GFCI" is a ground fault circuit interrupter. A ground fault circuit interrupter
is an inexpensive electrical device that, if installed in household branch circuits,
could prevent over two-thirds of the approximately 300 electrocutions still
occurring each year in and around the home. Installation of the device could also
prevent thousands of burn and electric shock injuries each year.
The GFCI is designed to protect people from severe or fatal electric shocks
Because a GFCI detects ground faults, it can also prevent some electrical fires
and reduce the severity of others by interrupting the flow of electric current
Have you ever experienced an electric shock? If you did, the shock probably
happened because your hand or some other part of your body contacted a
source of electrical current and your body provided a path for the electrical
current to go to the ground, so that you received a shock.
An unintentional electric path between a source of current and a grounded
surface is referred to as a "ground-fault." Ground faults ground-fault. Ground
faults occur when current is leaking somewhere, in effect, electricity is escaping
to the ground. How it leaks is very important. If your body provides a path to
the ground for this leakage, you could be injured, burned, severely shocked, or
electrocuted.
