2019年1月8日 · Installing a GFCI is pretty straight forward, you just need to know the "flow" of the circuit. Making sure LINE/LOAD is correct is important. Installing random GFCI outlets all over the place is unnecessary though. All 20A outlets have the "T" shaped hole. 15A outlets (no T shape) can go on a 20A circuit, but do not put 20A outlets on a 15A ...

This same electrician told me that I needed to replace all the un-grounded outlets with GFCI outlets, which he would do for the low (sarcasm) price of $25 each. Not knowing anything about electrical work, I nearly took him up on the offer but when he said there were 9 outlets that needed to be replaced I told him I'd do it myself.

Bought and installed and tested those primary outlets with GFCI outlets. Making sure to test the electric current and that electricity is off when I handle it. After all primary gfci outlets are installed, we took off all the outlets that was downstream of the primary outlet and replaced them with normal 3 prong outlets and added them with a ...

2019年7月31日 · But the GFCI won't reset, and keeps tripping whenever I attemp to push in the reset button. I then pull out another spare GFCI and installed that one, same thing. I tried both GFCI outlets with ground wire running from the Line side neutral port to the ground connector, and I tried both GFCI w/o the ground wire.

2021年3月20日 · Each room having 4 outlets. I would like, however, to get all of the outlets upgraded to three prong style. Originally, my plan was to just replaced all 12 of the outlets with GFCI outlets. Well after doing some research I learned it is a bad idea to put multiple GFCI outlets on the same circuit.

2021年4月9日 · All licensed. Also the house where I used to live had an original GFCI wired so it would not provide proper protection to the downstream outlets because they were all connected to hot/line, but only the neutral wire went through the GFCI. In other words, if the GFCI tripped, there would be a loss of neutral hazard. Shop carefully for electricians.

2017年1月27日 · The more outlets you have protected by a GFCI outlet, and the more distant those outlets are, the more likely you are to have nuisance-tripping. Therefore it is good practice to not put very many outlets on the "load" terminals of a GFCI, particularly if that circuit contains outlets that are outdoors or in damp crawlspaces/basement locations.

2016年3月11日 · GFCI breakers also cost about twice as much as GFCI outlets. Also, you pretty much need to use them whenever code requires both AFCI and GFCI protection, AFCI receptacles are uncommon and expensive and breakers that do both are almost unheard of.

2023年2月15日 · When you install a GFCI on outlet #1, then outlets #2, #3, and #4 are also protected by the GFCI. What you are trying to figure out is what outlets are downstream of the GFCI. You do this by pressing the "test" button on the GFCI, verifying that the GFCI tripped (there's no power) and then checking if other outlets in the area also lost power.

2024年4月23日 · All the outlets in the bedroom of my new house are two pronged non-grounded outlets, which is a problem for the items I want to plug in that include a ground connection. I looked at YouTube and found this video, essentially explaining how to wire a GFCI replacement outlet so that it is NEC compliant.
