How does a GFCI breaker provide for electrical safety?

What will be an ideal response?


A GFCI can interrupt the flow of electricity in as little as 1/40 of a second to prevent electrocution. They compare the amount of current going into the electric device with the amount of current returning from it and if the difference exceeds 5 milliamperes, the device automatically shuts down.
