GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interupter) Theirfore it responds to current on the ground....Some people don't know this but their is always current traveling on your neutral!!!

A GFCI monitors the current in the hot and neutral lines. If there is a difference between the two due to a ground fault ie: a short to ground, it will interupt ie: shut off, the current in to the circuit. The ground plug is unaffected by the GFCI.
