A GFCI outlet shuts off the flow of electricity to the outlet and any appliances plugged into it if it senses a sudden change in electrical current. This reduces the risk of electrocution and electric shocks. The electrical currents in your home run through insulated wires to switches and outlets. A ground fault occurs when electricity moves off its pathway through insulated wires and enters the ground. This happens if a cord is damaged, or the home has faulty wiring. This can cause electrocution or electrical shock. The risk of injury or death is greater in areas of your home that use water, such as kitchens and bathrooms. GFCI outlets contain sensors that monitor the flow of electrical current and sense ground faults or sudden changes in electrical current. The outlet shuts off the flow of electricity to prevent a prolonged surge that could lead to electrocution or death.
