Your question is a bit vague, but let's try a two part answer. If you have a GFCI breaker in an electric panel you should only have one connection at the breaker, but the breaker will protect all devices on the circuit.
If you are talking about a GFCI outlet, they are equipped to extend the GFCI protection to other non-GFCI outlets by using the proper "output" connection on the GFCI.
What else can I help you with?
Is a ground fault indicator outlet installed at the breaker box?
There are tow places to put a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. There is a GFCI breaker which would be installed in a breaker box and a GFCI outlet that can be installed anywhere. Most GFCI outlets allow you to connect regular outlets to the GFCI and those outlets will also be protected.
Can you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit?
Yes, you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit.
Do you need a gfci outlet if you have a gfci breaker?
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
Are gfci plugs required in a bathroom?
Deoends on code you are governed by. In USA, a GFCI outlet or a circuit controlled by a GFCI circuit breaker would be required.
What does the term GFCI receptacle stands for?
The term GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
How can I add a GFCI outlet to an existing circuit?
To add a GFCI outlet to an existing circuit, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the existing outlet and connect the GFCI outlet's line and load wires to the corresponding wires in the circuit. Install the GFCI outlet in the electrical box and test it to ensure it is working properly. If you are unsure about any step, consult a licensed electrician for assistance.
How should I properly wire a GFCI switch in my electrical circuit?
To properly wire a GFCI switch in your electrical circuit, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Connect the incoming power supply wires to the LINE terminals on the GFCI switch. Connect the outgoing load wires to the LOAD terminals on the GFCI switch. Connect the ground wire to the grounding terminal on the GFCI switch. Securely mount the GFCI switch in the electrical box. Turn the power back on and test the GFCI switch to ensure it is working properly.

What is ELCB distribution box?
An ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) distribution box is a type of electrical box that is used for electrical GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets. This is the type of outlet that requires a three-prong plug in, one wire of which is grounded. GFCI outlets are set up so that if there is a circuit overload, the outlet is shut off until it is reset, manually.

How many elec outlets can a GFCI detect?
A GFCI can detect ground faults on the specific circuit it is connected to. If multiple outlets are on the same circuit protected by a single GFCI outlet, the GFCI can protect all of them. However, if the outlets are on different circuits or not downstream from the GFCI, they would need their own GFCI protection.
Are gfci plugs required in a bathroom?
Deoends on code you are governed by. In USA, a GFCI outlet or a circuit controlled by a GFCI circuit breaker would be required.
Do you need a gfi plug for a spa if it is being plugged into a gfi circuit?
Yes, it is recommended to have a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protection for a spa even if it is being plugged into a GFCI circuit. This redundancy provides an extra layer of safety in case of any issues with the existing circuit.
Does a GFCI need to be on an independent circuit?
No, it can be on a circuit with conventional outlets.
Why won't the GFCI circuit breaker reset?
The GFCI circuit breaker may not reset due to a faulty connection, a ground fault in the circuit, or a malfunction in the breaker itself.
