Which outcome occurs when a ground fault interrupter (GFI) detects an imbalance in circuit current?

💡 Explanation

When a GFI detects current imbalance, electromagnetic induction causes a sensitive relay to trip the circuit because unequal current flow indicates a current leakage to ground. Therefore the circuit rapidly opens, instead of reducing voltage, increasing resistance, or modifying frequency each requiring alternate circuit control methods.
