Ground Fault Interrupter

A page was added to define a Ground Fault Interrupter circuit [GFI], or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter [GFCI]. A secondary page shows a Residual Current Device [RCD]. GFI outlets are normally found in rooms with access to water, a bath room or kitchen. However; a GFI circuit may protect other rooms with outlets down the line, rooms which may not include a GFI outlet.

Both pages were added to the main Engineering Glossary section, with additional liks off the Engineering Acronyms section.
