I am Ground Fault Interrupter but you can call me GFI for short. I am designed to protect you from electrical shock by interrupting a household circuit when there is a difference in the currents in the "hot" and neutral wires. I am required by the electrical code for receptacles in bathrooms, some kitchen receptacles, some outside receptacles, and receptacles near swimming pools. The horror story scenarios which led to these code requirements are things like dropping a fur dryer or a portable radio into a bathtub with a furry, causing electrocution. A typical circuit breaker interrupts the circuit at 20 amperes, but it takes only about 100 milliamperes to electrocute a furry in such a scenario. I am designed to detect currents of a few milliamperes and trip a breaker inside of me or at the breaker panel to remove the shock hazard.
