How do you wire a garbage disposal between the disposal and the GFI?

White and the ground go to the disposal, black goes through a switch and then to the disposal.
All three go through the switch box, the white and ground just pass through on the way to the disposal. Break the black with the switch.

Does garbage disposals have a breaker?
Yes but the breaker would be at your electrical panel, they do not have a breaker connected to the garbage disposal but they do have a reset button on the bottom of the garbage disposal. Most modern homes also have a GFI outlet linked to the garbage disposal. If your disposal is tripping breakers or GFI outlets I would consider that something is very wrong with your disposal, or you installed one with to much power!
Does a food waste disposal wire have to be in conduit?
Not in residential use. Most use a cord plugged in to a GFI outlet.
What is the device designed to detect a difference in current between circuit wire called the inward and outward paths?
GFI
Gfi doesn't pop but touching on outside of trailer you get a shock?
Verify that the correct connections to the GFI are correct. It sounds like the ground wire is not connected.
Difference between nessus and gfi languard?
GFI surpasses Nessus when targeting Windows hosts
Can one use 1 circuit of a 3 wire plus ground 2 circuit cable as a GFI circuit with the other as a lighting circuit?
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.
What is the population of GFI Group?
The population of GFI Group is 2,010.
Can GFI's be used to repair short circuits?
No. That is not the purpose of a GFI.
When was GFI Software created?
GFI Software was created in 1992.
When was GFI Group created?
GFI Group was created in 1987.
When was GFI Russia created?
GFI Russia was created in 1996.
Can you add an outlet onto the gfi next to the circuit breaker panel?
If t hat GFI is the only plug on the circuit then yes. If there are other plugs you have to find out how many so that you don't exceed the capacity of that circuit. If the GFI is the only plug there, turn the power off to it at it's breaker and run the appropriate wire to the new plug you want to install. Wire in the new plug, then make the connections at the old GFI plug. Always work towards the power, even if the circuit is dead. It's good practice. This way you rarely if ever have to work on live circuits. Start at the furthest point in the circuit away from the electrical panel and work toward it. You can have the new outlet protected by the GFI if you connect the wires from the new outlet to the LOAD side of the GFI. If the GFI is still new there is usually a yellow sticker covering the screws, those 2 screws are the LOAD side meaning that if anything happens downstream on that circuit to make a GFI trip the GFI will sense it and turn the circuit off. If you want just a standard outlet then put the new wires on the same screws as the old wires on the GFI. Once you're done, and all the boxes are closed and safe, turn the breaker back on.
