GFCI breaker basics - Ground fault circuit interrupter how it works

In this video, we're going to go over the basics of GFCI breakers and how to use them. By the end of this video, you'll be able to understand how to use a GFCI breaker and when to use it.

Best video for someone just trying to understand the basics

[Electronzap]

That's really cool how that works.

We call it RCCB in Asia, it's based on Kirchoffs law resultant current across a junction is zero.

Please review the definition of " outlet" in the NEC.
Also, on a 120v 1 phase branch circuit the term "neutral" would be better defined as "Grounded Conductor".

[SimplyStuart]

i don't think this explains how they work, but what they do. How do they measure the live and neutral wires? how do they break the circuit?

[wonseok_song]

Would connecting Hot and Ground trip the GFCI?

[briangodfrey]

Nice video for the HomeownerMindset, but I was expecting engineering. How does it actually work? What does the circuit look like inside of the breaker?

[ASour]

Any chance of a video on AFDD'S (Arc Fault Detection Device) they're relatively new to the electrical industry in the UK and while I've heard they're like an RCBO & MCCB in one, it would be interesting to hear your views.

[pubgconq]

Can you please explain how electric fence is made and work?

[TheOneLifeguard]

Is there any difference with how a GFCI outlet works? Or is that a extension of the breaker?

[samsonsoturian]

FYI, many mortgage places WILL refuse you loans if these aren't installed above EACH SINK.

[lohphat]

You explained WHAT it does but not HOW in any internal details.

How does it measure power and trip if there's a problem?

[LubaLuba]

But can GFI breaker prevent electric oven from shorting out ??

[SamplaysMC]

Why are gfci not normal for every outlet? to prevent accident and death

[thelightbrigadef]

Idk what alternative name of this circuit breaker. Never heard of it. Probably from US.

The video doesn't have the grounds and neutrals separated

Why did the guy put the screwdriver in the socket.
