What Is a GFCI Outlet?
Electricians use a specific type of outlet in potentially wet areas — the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI outlet protects you and your family from the dangers of electricity and water interacting. These outlets feature a mechanism that prevents electrical shocks.
How Does a GFCI Work?
A GFCI outlet prevents the type of electrocution that can occur from a ground fault. A ground fault is when an electrical current leaves its circuit and travels to the ground. If the current passes through a grounded electronic device, it could damage its delicate components. More importantly, a ground fault can cause electrocution when it occurs in electrical devices that you touch. GFCI outlets prevent ground faults in wet or humid areas, such as a garage, basement, or bathroom.
A system inside the outlet compares the hot and neutral input currents. Any difference in current will cause the safety mechanism to cut off the power supply. The process occurs in as little as 20 to 30 milliseconds, reducing the risk of or totally preventing electrocution. You can press a button on the outlet to restore its power when there is less risk of getting electrocuted.
GFCI Repairs and Installations
Maintaining functional GFCI outlets is important for safety and regulatory compliance. You need to repair or replace them if your GFCI outlet is not working.
Electrical codes in all states require GFCI outlets in residential and commercial buildings. Our electricians can ensure you have them in any area where outlets are prone to water exposure. Some of the most important places to install a GFCI outlet include bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor living spaces.
While all contemporary homes feature GFCI outlets in necessary locations, some older homes might not have GFCI outlets installed. If your home was built before 1971, it may lack GFCI outlets.
