Default GFI receptacle not functioning?

GFI receptacle
I thought that if one receptacle on a breaker was GFI that covered all
the other receptacles on that run/breaker? On two occasions, I
experienced the breaker tripping when moisture caused a short in the
run at another location.
thanks tom


It all depends on how the wiring was done. If the downstream receptacles
are wired to the "LOAD" terminal on the GFCI then they are protected,
otherwise they are not.
