The GFI outlet is a ground fault interrupter that can disconnect or open the power to a receptacle. The GIF can tell the difference between the flow of the current from a hot wire that flows through a neutral. If the difference is significant, the circuit is tripped by the ground fault. You do not want to use a GFI on a washer or a refrigerator. These appliances have motor winding that can trip the circuit. These outlets are meant for bathrooms, kitchens, garages and anywhere outside that you need an electrical outlet. They are to be placed by sinks or water sources in homes that need an electrical outlet within six feet of the source.

There is a line side and a load side to the GFI outlets. This means the incoming power is the line side and the outgoing power is the load side. If this outlet is installed incorrectly, it will not work. It does have to be connected correctly to operate. The GFI outlet has a test button and a reset button. If the outlet is working correctly, you can press the test button and the outlet will be shut down until you press the reset button. The test button should be tested monthly to insure it is working correctly.

You will use these outlets near sink, bathtubs, hot tubs, spa, Jacuzzis and any water source you will have an outlet near. The electrical outlets are used for all outside outlets because of the elements. The outlets are designed to protect electrical items as well as people who handle the items. The outlets can be frustrating if you are using a fluorescent light plugged into one. They have a tendency to trip the circuit. The newer GFI outlets seem to have less of a problem tripping easily as the older ones.

I am using 12 and14 gauge wire. How many receptacle outlets can I run on that same wire?

I plan on running 20 amp 12 and 14 gauge wire for refrigerator, AC etc. How many outlets can I run on one wire. i.e. should I use a one wire for every 3 outlets?

to figure this you need to remerber the total load of all receptacles on one circuit cannot exceed 15 amps for #14 wire or 20amps for #12 wire...add total amps of what load you will have on each receptacle circuit.....once it adds up to 13 or 17 amps depending on size of wire make this one circuit...usually every outlet in one room can be on one circuit or wire...refrigerator should have its own circuit.....ac should have its own circuit
