2. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

3. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

   Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection is required on receptacles in wet locations and locations where there exists an easy path for fault current to travel to earth. This includes all receptacles intended to service kitchen counter surfaces, crawl spaces at or below grade level, basements, garages and accessory buildings, bathrooms ...

4. National Electrical Code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

   A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required for all receptacles in wet locations defined in the Code. The NEC also has rules about how many circuits and receptacles should be placed in a given residential dwelling, and how far apart they can be in a given type of room, based upon the typical cord length of small appliances.

5. Electrical burn - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_burn

   Failure to install a "feed-through" type GFCI to all electrical devices that are an integral part of a Swimming pool, or not testing it weekly. This is a particular concern due to the use of electric lights and pumps where persons are immersed in water. The GFCI has the typical "test" and "reset" buttons, but no plug-in outlets.

6. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

   If a second ground fault occurs, a ground fault protection relay must trip the breaker to protect the circuit. On an HRG system, a sensing resistor is used to continuously monitor system continuity. If an open-circuit is detected (e.g., due to a broken weld on the NGR), the monitoring device will sense voltage through the sensing resistor and ...

   1. Always Inspect Lights Before Hanging Them. The first thing you should do before hanging the Christmas lights is to inspect the plugs, wires, and sockets for any problems.

8. Earth-leakage circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-leakage_circuit_breaker

   An earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations to prevent shock.It consists of either a current sensing mechanism, or a voltage sensing mechanism.
