Ground Fault Circuit Breakers Prevent Electrocutions and Save Lives By Mark J. Donovan Circuit breakers are designed to trip when too much current runs through an electrical circuit in your home. Ground fault circuit breakers, (aka ground fault circuit interrupters – GFCI) are also designed to trip for overload conditions. In addition, ground fault circuit breakers are also designed to protect people from becoming electrocuted. More specifically, ground fault circuit breakers are designed to sense the slightest loss or change in current draw in the circuit and trip before a…
