A 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.
Where shouldn't you use a gfci?
Since GFCI's are more expensive, you wouldn't want to use them in any place where they are not required. In many old homes, GFCI's are sometimes used for outlets in bedrooms and living rooms where proper grounding is necessary (for computers, TV's, other electronics), but not available because of the age of the wiring. You would also want to avoid cramming a GFCI into a box that is too small to accommodate the bulkier GFCI outlet. You should first replace the box to a larger one.

Can you feed multiple outlets to one GFCI outlet near the sink?
code states that if a water source such as a sink is within 6 feet of a receptacle, that recetacle (s), must be protected by a GFCI receptacle. I believe the actual distance is 5 feet. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. But the NEC also requires that ANY counter top receptacles in a kitchen and receptacles ANYWHERE in a bathroom must be GFCI protected. More directly to your question, ordinary receptacles can be protected from a GFCI receptacle if properly wired. They are designed to do that. It is a way to save money. You may also consider a GFCI breaker if you have many receptacles to protect. I was told once that there is a limit of 3 "piggy backed" receptacles per GFCI but I have never seen that in the NEC.

How many outlets can you have on a gfi breaker?
Depends on the breaker. If the load at the outlets is unknown then the standard rules of 80% apply. You can only load a circuit 80% of it's maximum value. For instance, if you're connecting your GFCI outlets to a 15 amp breaker you can only have a maximum of 12 outlets. If it's a 20 Amp breaker then you're allowed up to 16 outlets and so on. In the US, you are limited to 13 receptacles on a 20 amp circuit and 10 receptacles on a 15 amp circuit in commercial or industrial installations. Any or all of these can be gfci-protected. You can install one gfci, the first one from the panel, and protect any or all the others from that one.
