Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) serve as vital home safety devices designed to prevent electrical shock damage by rapidly disconnecting a circuit when an imbalance occurs between the return neutral conductor and the charged conductor. This safety wiring device detects and disconnects the circuit upon detecting such an imbalance, typically caused by current passing through human tissue due to accidental contact with charged circuits. While GFCIs are highly practical in preventing shocks in these circumstances, it’s important to note their limited protection against overloads or short-circuits.

Fuses, equipped with resistance wires designed to melt upon excessive current, offer a protective measure
