WHAT IS A GFCI OUTLET?
A GFCI outlet is an electrical outlet designed to protect people from electric shocks. You'll find these in areas where water can be easily introduced to the environment, like a bathroom, kitchen, or garage. "GFCI" stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. It monitors the flow of electricity through the outlet and can quickly shut off power to that area of the room if it detects a problem, such as electricity flowing through water or a person.
WHAT IS A GFI OUTLET?
Some people refer to GFCI outlets as GFI outlets. A GFI outlet is essentially the same thing as a GFCI outlet. "GFI" stands for Ground Fault Interrupter. Both terms refer to the same type of safety outlet that protects against electric shocks. There is no difference between a GFCI and a GFI outlet; they both serve the same purpose and provide the same protection.
