GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPT RECEPTACLES (GFCI)
In the bath area, there is a 120V VAC GFCI
receptacle (Figure 80.2 ) which provide greater
protection against inadvertent electrical shocks.
These specialized GFCI receptacles provide both
overload and short circuit protection for the user.
All of the electrical receptacles on the "general"
branch is GFCI protected through the bathroom
GFCI.
Consequently, if an appliance plugged into a non
GFCI outlet does not have power, check for a
tripped GFCI in the bathroom.
Figure 80.2
GFCI Receptacle Located in Bathroom Area
All GFCI protected receptacles are marked as such, but only one of them may have the two
pushbuttons on the receptacle as shown in ( Figure 80.2 ) . The upper pushbutton is a "test"
button which can be used to assure that the GFCI is working properly. All one needs to do to
test is push the test button.
There will be a momentary "click and the GFCI will be disconnected (i.e., no power is available
to any GFCI protected receptacles. To reset this GFCI breaker, push the lower reset button.
These receptacles protect the user from ground faults between an electrically "hot" wire and
ground. The GFCI will not reduce the shock hazard if the short is between a neutral and "hot"
wire or two "hot load" wires.
