Another issue in the U.S. is the lack of a compatible safety device called a ground fault circuit interrupter, or a GFCI. They are typically built into outlets installed near water sources ...

Abstract: The types of loads greatly affect the current waveform of a series arc fault, making it difficult to construct a universal criterion for fault detection in terms of current. In contrast, arc ...

Even more importantly, you also have the option to choose a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet, which helps protect from unintended faults and related shocks. These are now required in ...
