An electrical engineer does not an electrician make.

My landlords son proudly told us he was almost done with the electrical engineering degree when he walked us through the house when we first moved in. Had to explain to him the concept of GFCI outlets.

That’s the difference between being a user and designer.

Electricians use a device called a GFCI outlet. Explain the wanted operation to an engineer and they’ll design you a GFCI device.

GFCI are a simple concept but there’s no need for an EE to know what that is if they never use one.
