What is a GFCI (circuit breaker). GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an electronic device for protecting people from serious injury due to electric shock. GFCI constantly monitors electricity flowing in a circuit. If the electricity flowing into the circuit differs by even a slight amount from that returning, the GFCI will quickly shut off the current flowing through the circuit.
The advantage of using a GFCI is that it can detect even small variations in the amount of current flowing through an electrical product, even amounts too small to activate a fuse or circuit breaker. GFCI works quickly in order to help protect consumers from severe electric shocks, while most common circuit breakers (thermal snap action) take far too long to stop the flow of electricity.
