A _____ is unintentional mess up.
Ground Fault
,An effective Ground-Fault current path is?
An effective Ground-Fault current paths a path intentionally constructed to
facilitate the operation of the overcurrent protective devices currently in place.
GFCI is never sensitive to small "leaks" of current
False. GFCI = ground-fault circuit interrupter
