If you are referring to the "ground fault interrupter", then it works on the principal of what goes in must come out. Current is measured going into the device.
As long as the same amount of current returns through the neutral wire, (everything is equal), then the ground fault interrupter remains intact and passes current.
If there is more current going into the device than is coming back, it means some of the current is leaking to ground or shorting to ground (possibly through a human body). When this happens, the ground fault interrupter kicks out and cuts the voltage going into the device.
You have to manually reset the ground interrupter to make it work again. This way, the ground fault interrupter helps prevent serious injury or death to the possible human that is getting shocked.

How is smoke detectors now used on earth?
Fire detectors are now used on earth to alarm people when somethig is smoky or is burning. This is also used to prevent fires by alarmig people about fires.
Can your aparment complex rent you another aparment due to mold cause by water leakege in the carpet?
If you want them to.
If I disconnect one smoke detector, will the other smoke detectors still work?
Yes, the other smoke detectors will still work if one is disconnected. Each smoke detector operates independently and is not interconnected with the others.
How deep can metal detectors detect?
Depends on the size of the metal detectors, and the size of the metal under the surface of the earth. The bigger the metal detector, the bigger the piece of metal, the deeper down it will detect.
Do crowcon gas detectors work with carbon monoxide?
Crowcon does have gas detectors that will detect carbon monoxide. The detector will send out a signal to warn your household that there is a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide.
Why do smoke detectors need to be replaced every ten years?
The batteries will run out and they will no longer work.
What are examples of motion detectors?
Motion detectors are: infrared detectors, ultrasonic, microwave, radiowave and... dogs.
Can radar detectors tell you if a cop car is near you?
Only if he has his radar gun on. Radar detectors are not cop detectors.
What was used in fire detectors before americium?
The first smoke detectors are based on optical principles - photoelectric detectors.
What is full form of QB detectors?
Quartzoid Bulb Detectors
Are there such things as lie detectors?
yes, that's what cops use. but The ones that they sell in stores don't work at all.
How do gold detectors work to detect gold underground?
Gold detectors work by emitting electromagnetic signals into the ground. When these signals encounter a metal object, such as gold, they create a magnetic field around the object. The detector then picks up this magnetic field and alerts the user to the presence of gold underground.
