Hi,
No. An exmple. Bathrooms are GFI protected. Turning lights on/off
in the bathroom does not trip breaker. There are GFI outlet and GFI
breaker.

Note that in houses wired according to code, the GFI-protected outlets
in the bathroom are on a different circuit from the bathroom lighting.
Nevertheless, Tony is correct; the GFI will not trip if you wire the
switch into the circuit. Make *very* sure you wire the switch in the hot
line, not the neutral line.

Yours aye,
W. Underhill
