Shock Buster Gfci Use

gar1948 · 07/28/2008, 08:09 PM

If I plug a regular power strip into one of the outlets on my shock buster GFRCI 5 outlet power strip will the items plugged into the regular power strip be protected from water? THANKS

Yes, anything plugged into the GFCI unit will be protected by the GFCI. However, putting all of your equipment on a single GFCI is the best plan... a single nuisance trip or faulting device will brind down everything plugged into the GFCI. It is best to use multiple GFCIs.
