MaxineA GFCI can detect ground faults on the specific circuit it is connected to. If multiple outlets are on the same circuit protected by a single GFCI outlet, the GFCI can protect all of them. However, if the outlets are on different circuits or not downstream from the GFCI, they would need their own GFCI protection.

Can you control 10 outlets with one 20 amp GFCI outlet on one 20 amp circuit?
If each outlet draws less than 2 amps, then you could control 10 outlets with a 20 amp GFCI outlet on a 20 amp circuit. However, it's worth consulting an electrician to ensure the load calculations are accurate and the wiring is safe for the intended use.
How many outlets can run off 1 gfi outlet?
Eight on a 15 amp circuit, tweleve on a 20 amp circuit, including the gfci receptacle itself.
How many amps does gfci trip at?
GFCI receptacles are designed to trip at around 5 milliamps (0.005 amps) of current leakage to ground. When the GFCI detects this level of imbalance, it quickly shuts off the power to prevent electric shock.
Why won't two GFCI protection outlets located inside the garage reset after you power washed the outside of the house?
Power washing may have caused water to enter the outlets, triggering the GFCI protection to trip. Allow the outlets to completely dry before attempting to reset them. If they still won't reset, there may be water damage or a wiring issue that needs to be addressed by a professional electrician.
How many gfci outlets can you have on one circuit?
You can have multiple GFCI outlets on one circuit; it is common to have them daisy-chained in a series. However, it is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure proper wiring and compliance with local electrical codes.
