My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

GFCI test?

12 years ago

I have a handy-dandy little Chinese GFCI tester that one plugs into a GFCI receptacle, then one presses the little button and if the GFCI receptacle is functioning, it will trip, requiring a reset. Works just fine.

When one correctly installs a GFCI BREAKER, should one be able to plug in the little tester in any one of the receptacles in the protected circuit, press the button and thereby cause the GFCI BREAKER to trip?
