Gfci outlet feels warm to the touch?
It is normal for GFCI breakers and receptacles to feel warm to the touch while under load. They should not feel "hot". GFCI receptacles often protect other receptacles further down the line, so the load does not necessarily need to be plugged into the GFCI receptacle itself. AFCI breakers will also feel warm to the touch. Again the receptacles should not feel "hot". If they are hot or heat discolored, you should discontinue use and call a licensed electrician. C.

Gfi receptacle first in a line of seven other receptacles in new construction that works fine without the load of the other receptacles but does not work when you add the additional receptacles?
There must be leakage current in the down stream receptacles It is going to be a trial and error method of finding the leak. Remove the GFI and make a through connection to the downstream receptacles Now go to first receptacle and install the GFI. If it holds the fault is further down stream. Keep going down the line until you find the fault. When the GFI trips and won't reset it will be the up stream feeder. Check the feeder wire for cuts or scrapes in the insulation. Replace this feeder.
Can a 20 amp circuit breaker operate two 15 amp receptacle?
It is perfectly acceptable to have (2) 120 volt 15 amp receptacles operated from a 120 volt 20 amp circuit breaker (as a general rule of thumb 11 receptacles are acceptable on a 20 amp circuit). The 15 amp rating of the receptacle is the maximum allowed amperage that should be hooked up to the receptacle at any one time. So in this case the limiting factor is the amount of current being drawn across both receptacles simultaneously should not exceed the 20 amp rating of the circuit breaker. In the United States the NEC code allows the use of a 20 amp circuit breaker to feed a branch circuit consisting of 15 amp receptacles. Generally you would not exceed 11 receptacles though as you will assume an average load of 1.5 amps per receptacle and trying to maintain about 80% max load.
Where does a GFCI go?
GFCI protection is required for most outdoor receptacles, bathroom , garage wall outlets, kitchen, and all receptacles in crawl space.
How many 15 amp receptacles can you put on a 15 amp breaker?
