The three most common types of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) in use today are:
• GFCI receptacles. These outlets have built-in GFCI protection and are commonly installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where water and electricity are in close proximity.
• GFCI circuit breakers. These breakers provide GFCI protection to an entire circuit and are installed in the electrical panel.
• Portable GFCIs. These devices plug into standard outlets and provide GFCI protection for specific appliances or tools.
For assistance with GFCI installations and other electrical services, the Electricians Service Team is available to help.
