GFCI

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle is an electrical safety device that monitors the flow of electricity in a circuit. They quickly shut off power if they detect an imbalance or deviation, such as a ground fault or leakage, to prevent electric shock and fires. GFCI receptacles are commonly used in areas with water, like kitchens and bathrooms, to provide extra protection. They are an important safety feature in homes and are required by building codes. Regular testing and professional installation by a licensed electrician are recommended to ensure their proper functioning and adherence to electrical safety standards.
