5 Easy Steps to Reset a GFCI Breaker * flexco
A step-by-step guide on how to reset a GFCI breaker, including identifying the breaker, pressing the reset button, and resolving common issues.
Yes, you can reset a GFCI circuit breaker yourself, but it's important to do it safely and correctly. A GFCI, or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, is a crucial safety device designed to protect you from electrical shock. When a GFCI trips, it means it has detected an imbalance in the electrical current, which could indicate a dangerous situation.
When the main circuit breaker is tripped or turned off, it cuts power to the GFCI outlets. As a result, the GFCI won't reset until the main breaker is reset. Locating the main electrical panel, checking for a tripped breaker and then turning it back on, if necessary, can resolve this issue. 5. Ground Fault in the Circuit
GFI WAREHOUSE is the leading wholesale supplier of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs). You can buy GFCIs directly from them.
Plug the rest of your devices into the outlets on the circuit one at a time so you don't overload the circuit. If your GFCI outlet trips again and you lose power to the outlets, you may be plugging too many things into the circuit. If nothing turns on when you plug it in, then you may have to reset the breaker.
