Do hand dryers in a bathroom need a GFI breaker?
Make sure that all electrical outlets in the bathroom are grounded to prevent electrical shock. When in doubt, consult an electrician and have a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet installed.
When using an extension cord you need to use a ground fault interrupter?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) senses a leakage path to ground that could be a shock hazard and is mandated in areas where water is involved like bathrooms and kitchens. If you are using an extension cord in a wet area it would be a good idea to connect it to a GFCI protected circuit.
Does the artesian well casing within 6 feet of the pool edge need to be connected to the bonding grid of the swimming pool?
All well casings need to be grounded to the supply service ground grid. There is no better ground rod than that of a iron well casing. Grounding of the casing to the swimming pool will insure that if a fault occurs on the swimming pool electrical equipment, the safety equipment will trip the fault due to a good grounding system. In this case it is better to be over grounded that under grounded.
1991 capri does the radio need to be grounded separetly oR IS IT ALREADY GROUNDED through THE HARNESS OR ANTENNA?
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded.

Do you need to turn off the pump in an above ground pool when kids are swimming?
If the pool is properly grounded and bonded, with ground fault interupt circuit, it is safe. I would not run if a thunder storm is approaching. Of course, they should not be in the pool during a thunderstorm at any rate.

How do you wire a ground fault switch?
To replace the wire ground fault switch, you need to switch off electric power from the source. After switching it off you can use the screwdriver to open screw and remove the faulty switch and replace it with a good one. <<>> There is no such a device as a ground fault switch.

Either will work.
Why should a ground fault interrupter be used with portable electric motor?
Unless the motor is used for SPA/pool type use, it does not need a GFCI. Motors can cause nusiance GFCI trips due to sparking at start up. Ideally motors should be operated on dedicated circuits.
