A : You can buy a portable GFCI ( ground fault circuit interrupter ) which you can plug into your existing grounded outlet.
22.
Some systems have protective devices such as circuit breakers or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters ( GFCI ), designed to isolate such a fault.
23.
Track circuit interrupters are similar to treadles, the main difference being that interrupters remain open circuit once opened, whereas treadles reclose after activation.
24.
A ground fault circuit interrupter has a built-in device that protects you from shocks by cutting the current when it senses an electrical imbalance.
25.
CAPTION : A single Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter ( GFCI ) can protect several outlets in that same circuit, if the circuit is properly wired.
26.
In residential wiring, electrical regulations may now require Arc-fault circuit interrupters on building wiring circuits, to detect small arcs before they cause damage or a fire.
27.
An alternative identified in the US and Canadian electrical codes is to replace the outlet with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter ( GFCI ) breaker outlet.
28.
Since 1991 the CPSC has mandated that all dryers must use a ground fault circuit interrupter so that it cannot electrocute a person if it gets wet.
29.
These can be plugged into any outlet equipped with a Residual-current device / Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter ( as all outdoor outlets should be per our National Electrical Code ).
30.
I use this for several electric power tools but this outlet is not equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter ( not required when the house was built ).
