Ground-Fault Protection

Ground fault protection has been around since about 1975 and has proven to be one of the most important developments in the electrical industry to date.

Using sensitive electronic circuitry, these devices are programmed to watch for situations where electricity is finding a path to ground that does not align with the design of the electrical system. In some cases, this path to ground could be through YOU. If a ground-fault interrupter senses this dangerous condition, it instantly shuts power off to protect you from the dangers of shock or electrocution.

Codes now require the installation of these devices in places where electricity and water come into close contact with each other such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoors, and in unfinished parts of a home. Although not required, you can install them anywhere you have receptacles for added protection.
