Hello,
Concerning the normal GFCI protectors/modules:
Obviously they protect "downstream" like they are designed to.
But does this protection also extend "upstream" ?
If so, to where ?
Thanks,
Bob
No, it does not (generally) extend upstream (back to the source). If
such a device exists it is not common and/or I have not seen one or
heard of one.
I think there has to be a definition made here. So I will do it..
Upstream: From source (breaker box) to GFCI outlet - not protected.
Downstream: From GFCI Outlet to far end of that circuit (last outlet on
that circuit).
GFCI breaker - source - (breaker box) to far end of that circuit (last
outlet on that circuit).
I hope I am clear as mud...
