an outlet with a built-in surge protector let's check this out [Music] Dave Taylor here and as you can see I'm in my kitchen now my kitchen has a GFCI that's this plug and that's a ground fault circuit interrupter now a GFCI is really helpful but on this plug I tend to plug in a lot of electronics everyone charges stuff and when we have exotic electronics they often end up plugged in there and here's the thing a GFCI protects you from ground faults hence its name and a ground fault is when there's an inadvertent contact between an energized conductor and ground or equipment frames all right bad news but it doesn't protect you from surges and a surge is when you suddenly get too much voltage down the line and this can fry your electronics this can shorten the life of your electronics it's bad news so what you see a lot is people will use big external devices that are surge protectors and
