____ virtually eliminate the risk of shock and should be used for all situations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) devices are designed to quickly detect any imbalances in electrical current caused by ground faults, and interrupt the electrical flow before a person can be electrocuted. GFCI virtually eliminates any risk of electric shock and are recommended for use in all situations where electrical appliances are used in wet or damp environments, or where live wires may be exposed. Portable generators should also be used with GFCI outlets or extension cords equipped with GFCI protection. Two-wire extension cords do not provide any ground protection and increase the risk of shock or electrocution. Three-pronged extension cords provide ground protection, but only if connected properly to a grounded outlet.
