Electrical Question from David about GFCI Wiring
Received from David a Handyman in Jenison, Michigan.
Question:
The kitchen counter (3 outlets) does not have GFCI protection at this time.
I just determined that each of the outlets has 2 circuits, one to the top outlets and the other to the bottom outlets.
A standard GFCI outlet can not be installed because of the 2 circuits to each receptacle outlet.
What should I do to get GFCI protection at these outlets?
Thank you for your help.
Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question.
GFCI Circuit Protection
David, the solution would be to have a GFCI circuit breaker installed for each of these circuits in the panel serving the kitchen countertop outlets.
