Ground Faulc Circuit Interruptors.
About
- Is GFCI safer than a ground pin? Yes, in case a part of an appliance is not grounded. How a ground works - [1]. Also - just because there is a ground pin - it doesn't mean that it is connected or that it is connected properly.
More
- Can be wall outlets. $9.
- GFCI circuit breakers also exist
- DIN Rail GFCI breaker - $5 - [2] - is this really GFCI?
- Can be plug-in receptacles - [3]
- Arc Fault Circuit Interruptors (AFCI) are another thing - [4]
- Note that GFCI outlets sense differential current, and they are not grounded - [5]
- Portable GFCI - GFCI on a power cord - [6]
- A GFCI outlet is quite complex - with its own circuitry. See teardown and explanation - [7]
- GFCI chip from On Semi - [8]
