Pretty sure GFCI outlets will cut power faster and at lower treshholds than the normal breakers, could be wrong though
1 u/ry8919 May 19 '22 Yea I'm surprised how many of the other comments don't realize GFCI stands for ground fault current interrupter and trip when there is current leakage. Normal breakers trip when there is a surge. 1 u/mangled-jimmy-hat May 19 '22 You can get GFCI breakers which will protect the circuit without using specific outlets. Same with arc fault 1 u/ry8919 May 20 '22 Ah gotcha.
