Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Receptacle
Each 120 V 20 A duplex receptacle is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) for protection against the shock hazard of ground-fault
currents.
An example of ground-fault current is the current that would flow through a
person who is using an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is
in contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or
earth. The GFCI will protect against current flowing through that person.
The GFCI will not protect against short circuit or overloads.
GFCIs can be expected to interrupt power supply if there are ground faults or
stray current imposed on the wiring by other electrical devices, wiring, or
equipment. Due to the risk of a power interruption, this generator is not
recommended for powering medical or life support equipment.
