Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) helps prevent electric shock by interrupting the flow of current when it senses an imbalance in current flow between the energized and neutral conductor. It does not prevent tools from overheating. Therefore, Technician A is incorrect. However, Technician B is correct in stating that Personal Protective Equipment must be used every time power tools are used to ensure safety.
