GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter) protection is required for many receptacles (outlets) throughout the house and outdoors. This protection can be provided either by a GFCI breaker or GFCI receptacles. There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach, depending on the installation.
GFCI is an acronym for ground fault circuit interrupter. It is a circuit breaker, or a trip-switch so that should a hair dryer fall into the sink, the circuit will trip, shutting off the electricity to the outlet. These are now code for any outlet within 6 feet of a sink. Some jurisdictions provide other rules on where an outlet can be positioned in relation to a sink.
