Wiring a GFCI Powerbar/Remote Outlets

[pjoziasse]

As an alternative to replacing a regular outlet with a GFCI outlet (requiring you to turn the power off at the circuit breaker), you can purchase a GFCI protected power bar (I got mine from Rona) that you simply plug into a regular socket. Mine has four outlets on the power bar which are all GFCI protected. This gives you a minimum of 15 amps protected by the GFCI, assuming there is no other current draw on that circuit.
