ALCI is an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter and IDCI is an Immersion Detection Circuit Interrupter. GFCI, ALCI and IDCI work in different ways but they are all intended to shut off power to the appliance when an abnormality is detected.
GFCI outlets constantly monitor the flow of electricity through the outlet's circuit. If an imbalance is detected by even a very small amount, the GFCI interrupts power instantly thereby protecting the electronic device connected to the outlet and, ultimately, the person handling the device.
The cause of the fault should be determined before resetting the circuit in order to avoid damage to household equipment. When a protected appliance or outlet is tripped, power is instantly shut off and the RESET button on the appliance or outlet pops out.
Test your GFCI outlets every month to make sure they function properly.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. The NEC, while having no legally binding regulation as written, is generally adopted by states and municipalities as the standards by which they enforce safe electrical practices within their jurisdiction. Considered the benchmark for safe electrical installations, the NEC is published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) every three years.
Don’t try to replace or fix a faulty GFCI outlet yourself; it could be very dangerous! Nisat Electric's Licensed Master Electrician is trained to troubleshoot and repair electrical problems related to malfunctioning or defective GFCI outlets, and perform all work in accordance with NEC.

A GFCI receptacle is an inexpensive outlet designed to stop electricity when a fault is detected. When wired and functioning properly, GFCIs protect people from electrical shock. GFCI outlets are easily identified by the two buttons in the middle: a RESET button (often red) and a TEST button (often black).

A ground fault is an unintentional electrical current between a power source and a grounded surface. Ground faults most often occur when equipment is damaged or defective, resulting in live electrical parts that are no longer adequately protected from unintended contact. If your body provides a path to the ground for this current you could receive an electrical shot, serious burns or electrocution.
