I have 2 GFCI Breakers already installed in my house. Both are for the kitchen appliance recepticals. I would like to just have GFCI outlets in the kitchen, rather than the normal outlets that are in there now (for ease of use in the event of a circuit overload). I am familiar with gfci outlet replacement, but am unsure if I can have a GFCI outlet on a GFCI breaker. I know it may be overdoing it, but is it dangerous or problematic?
In the event of a circuit overload - the breaker will trip, not the GFCI outlet. The GFCI part of the outlet will ONLY trip if it detects an imbalance - IE a "leak"
I don't have to explain anything. My master bath is protected by a GFCI breaker, there's a GFCI in the wall, and the hair dryer has a GFCI built into the cord.
...and she's still not dead. :whistling2::huh:
