Learn how to keep your family safe from electrical shock with Leviton GFCIs. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are one of the most effective devices for preventing electrical shock in the home. Electrical shock often occurs when a ground fault happens—this is when electricity leaves its normal path and flows through an unintended route, such as water, a damaged wire, or even a person. Ground faults are especially common in wet or damp environments, and can also occur when appliances or tools have frayed or damaged wiring. Using GFCI outlets significantly reduces the risk of shock. In fact, they have the potential to prevent up to 70% of electrical shock incidents in the home.
