Ground fault circuit interrupters are safety devices used to improve safety when electricity is used by a person well connected to 'ground.'

To protect individuals, electrical component designers and manufacturers developed the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI for short).

You can still get circuit interrupter protection with an extension cord equipped with a built-in ground fault circuit interrupter.

More importantly, circuit breakers and ground fault circuit interrupters installed by electricians provide safety for the homeowner and all of the connected loads.
