[QUOTE="NoCoSPL, post: 6430865, member: 614447"] A GFCI trips at .005 amps. Thats milli amps. A GFCI looks for a differece between the current between the hot and the neutral. 10 amps in and 10 amps out no trip. But as soon as it sees a differerence from input and the return current path in .005 amps or more you trip. Also Arc Fault circuit breakers don't protect people from shock, they prevent arcs within the receptacle. I have a chart for amperage flow in one of my books on how much it takes to stop your heart and how much it takes to cook your arm from the inside out like a microwave. [/QUOTE]
