Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Safety

A GFCI is an electrical safety device that is designed to protect people from electric shocks and electrocution caused by ground faults. In this module Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Safety – GFCI Safety: A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help prevent electrocution. If a person’s body starts to receive a shock, the GFCI senses this and cuts off the power before he/she can get injured. GFCIs are generally installed where electrical circuits may accidentally come into contact with water.
