A modern GFCI will trip if you accidentally ground the output neutral. IMO this is a very good thing, in part because it prevents problematic wiring practices like this downstream of the GFCI.
- bombcar 3y agoModern GFCIs are kind of a wonder-device, in that they prevent bad wiring but also make other types of bad wiring safe - you're much better off putting an UNGROUNDED GFCI in instead of miswiring a 3 prong outlet or adapter in an ungrounded box. It's my go-to now to "fix" two prong outlets. https://www.electricallicenserenewal.com/Electrical-Continuing-Education-Courses/NEC-Content.php?sectionID=306.0 https://www.electricallicenserenewal.com/Electrical-Continui...
