What does the GFCI do first?

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help prevent electrocution. If a persons body starts to receive a shock, the GFCI senses this and cuts off the power before he/she can get injured. GFCIs are generally installed where electrical circuits may accidentally come into contact with water.

Is GFCI first in line?

Re: Does GFCI Have to Be First In Line? Yep, GFCI first receptacle outside, and feed others from that. You should not have more than 1 GFCI on a circuit, although it would still work, it would be a waste of a GFCI !
