Tripp Lite Plug-In GFCI with Cord, 9 ft., Yellow/Black, 15.0, Plug Configuration NEMA 5-15P

Plug-in portable GFCI cords with automatic reset are electrical devices used between a power source and an electrical device to detect ground faults and help prevent electrical shock. The GFCI automatically resets after a power interruption to immediately restart the connected devices as soon as the power supply is restored. They are often used to connect unattended devices with short power cords, such as radios or lights, to outlets without GFCI protection. These portable cords plug directly into a wall outlet and have a short cord with one or more receptacles at the end that devices plug into.

General purpose portable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) bodies and cords are electrical devices used with power cords that help protect users from ground faults. They have an integrated circuit breaker that turns off the power when a current overload is detected, helping protect users from electrical burns, shock, or electrocution. They are commonly used in temporary power applications to provide protection where electrical circuits may come in contact with water, such as in garages or outdoors, and a standard GFCI receptacle is not available. Plug-in GFCIs plug directly into a wall outlet and have one or more receptacles that devices plug into. Inline GFCIs are lengths of cord with an outlet plug at one end and one more receptacles at the other end that devices plug into.
