- mvd366 11y agoAll countertop (small appliance) outlets are required to have GFCI protection and most places necessitate two separate 20A circuits for the space.
- devicenull 11y agoUS outlets don't have any sort of fuse/breaker built in.
- unethical_ban 11y agoSome are GCFI which can detect abnormal current.
- mindslight 11y agoGFCI, AFCI, and overcurrent protection are all orthogonal protections. US receptacles do not have overcurrent protection built in.
