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 that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through a conductor is not equal and opposite in both directions, therefore indicating leakage current to ground or current flowing to another powered conductor.

3. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

   Note that an external GFCI receptacle tester may not make an ungrounded GFCI trip, as these testers use the ground connection to simulate a fault. But the test button integrated into the GFCI receptacle should function normally and cause the outlet to shut off until it is reset manually.

4. Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter

   AFCI receptacles offer the benefit of localized test and reset with such buttons located on the face of the device. This can save a journey to the breaker panel but can also encourage simply resetting by a user without investigating the underlying fault, as would presumably happen if someone with access to the electrical panel was notified.

   A receptacle tester being used to check for some types of improper wiring of an outlet. For this particular tester, proper wiring is indicated by the two yellow lights. The outlet tester checks that each contact in the outlet appears to be connected to the correct wire in the building's electrical wiring. It can identify several common wiring ...

9. National Electrical Code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

   A 120 volt combination AFCI/GFCI receptacle. Unlike circuit breakers and fuses, which only open the circuit when the current exceeds a fixed value for a fixed time, a GFCI device will interrupt electrical service when more than 4 to 6 milliamperes of current in either conductor leaks to ground.
