GFCI ( ground fault circuit interrupter ) circuit breakers combine overcurrent protection and differential protection ( non-adjustable ) in standard, commonly available modules.
42.
Electrical heat tracing systems may be required to have earth leakage ( ground fault or RCD ) devices for personnel and equipment protection.
43.
The advantage of the inductive approach is that there is no possibility of ground fault detectors can make conductive coupling nearly as safe.
44.
A : You can buy a portable GFCI ( ground fault circuit interrupter ) which you can plug into your existing grounded outlet.
45.
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.
46.
Activating the high voltage DC system into a short circuit or a ground fault or into unsuspecting personnel and their equipment can have undesired effects.
47.
A ground fault interrupter has a built-in device that monitors the current in the hot wire coming in and in the neutral wire going out.
48.
CAPTION : A single Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter ( GFCI ) can protect several outlets in that same circuit, if the circuit is properly wired.
49.
An alternative identified in the US and Canadian electrical codes is to replace the outlet with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter ( GFCI ) breaker outlet.
50.
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.
