GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. It provides protection against ground faults, which occur when a hot wire comes into contact with a grounded surface, such as metal or water. This can create a dangerous electrical shock hazard. GFCIs monitor the amount of current flowing out and returning to the circuit and will quickly shut off power to the circuit if it detects a difference. GFCIs do not provide protection against short circuits or overcurrents.
