Why Does My GFCI Keep Tripping
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an essential safety device that protects people from electric shock in potentially hazardous situations. It’s designed to sense when there is an imbalance between the hot and neutral wires in a circuit, quickly shutting off power to the outlet to prevent injury or fire. When you notice that your GFCI keeps tripping, it can be frustrating, especially when it happens repeatedly. Understanding the reasons why this occurs and how to address the issue is crucial to keeping your electrical systems safe and functional.
