What is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)?
A GFCI is generally built into the outlet itself. It carefully monitors current flow, comparing that to the current that exits the outlet. If the GFCI detects a difference, it opens the circuit and shuts off the power. GFCI devices can thus identify when power is being shorted to ground. The most obvious reason happens is from water but other issues, such as conductors contacting hot electrical leads can cause ground faults.
The Importance of an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)
A GFCI protects against regular circuit shorts, while an AFCI prevents electrical arcs. Electric arcs occur when electrical current leaps and completes an electrical connection. Electrical arcs are common when plugging in or unplugging a device, but AFCIs protect against larger and more dangerous arcs.
How a Breaker Box Can Keep You Safe
Your electrical panel monitors the amount of current on a circuit. The circuit breakers are designed with a simple bimetallic strip that heats up as current builds in the circuit. When the current reaches a level too high for the circuit to handle, the breaker will trip, cutting off power to all devices on the circuit and protecting them from runaway conditions.
