Every time you trip the GFCI, the power to the device plugged into it will lose its supply voltage.

Does the gfci outlet beep when there's aproblem?
No, it will just trip and cut off the power.
How many amps does gfci trip at?
GFCI receptacle are designed to trip on 5 milliamps.
Will a GFCI outlet trip when the current is reduced or shut off?
The GFCI is measuring leakage current to ground, so if no current is flowing it won't trip.
Why won't the GFCI trip the panel box when shorted?
A GFCI is not an overcurrent protection device. It only protects people from electrical shock. However, if you were to create a perfect hot to neutral short the GFCI would not trip and the panel breaker would.
What happens when you plug a GFCI protected extension cord into an outlet that is GFCI protected?
In a word NO, that will not cause either GFCI to trip. The correct term is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)

What does a GFCI measure?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) measures the amount of current flowing from hot to neutral. If there is an imbalance it will trip and shut of power. It can detect and imbalance of as little as 4 milliamps. It reacts in 1/30 th of a second.
Plugging an electric heater into a GFI outlet caused the lights and other outlets to go out but didn't trip the circuit breaker why?
A GFCI receptacle can pass it's "protection" to other outlets wired from it. If the GFCI trips, all outlets wired from it will "trip" also. A GFCI tripping will not necessarily trip the circuit breaker in the service panel.

How much amperage is needed to trip a 20amp GFCI outlet?
A GFCI trips when it detects a difference in the amperage going to the outlet and what is coming back. Even 4-6 miliamps difference will trip the outlet.
