GFCI device
I am aware that GFCI circuit breakers exist, but when installing an additional 15 ampere branch circuit, an electrician installed a GFCI device within an one gang electrical box. How does such a GFCI device compare to use of a GFCI circuit breaker ? Cost? Reliability? False alarms ? How might I go about testing the newly installed GFCI device ? The additional GFCI branch circuit is required for running a Panasonic exhaust fan within the wet area. If I had known of such independent GFCI devices, I would have made use of it rather than individual GFCI duplex outlets when I added a circuit branch for auxillary outdoor and garage duplex outlets. |
