GFI Power Strips ?

Jul 04, 2007 32 Replies

Do they make a GFI power strip, so that each plug is protected?



Yes, I know that you can buy a GFI outlet for any spot, but I am talking about another product, if they make it. With such a product, you could plug it into any outlet and then presto, have GFI outlets on a temporary basis.



I looked at Sears and Home depot, but did not find one.



Do they make it ?



Thanks !!

Not a power strip per se, but GFI extension cords are common in construction (required on many job sites)

You're taking the long way home... Install a GFCI circuit breaker, be done with it. Dave

The OP said "With such a product, you could plug it into any outlet and then presto, have GFI outlets on a temporary basis."

How would installing a GFCI circuit breaker fit his "any outlet" scenario?

Before I knew about GFCI extensions cords, I made my own by putting a GFCI receptacle in an outdoor receptacle box and attaching a 2 foot cord with a grounded plug on it. GFCI to go. Been using it for years.

shouldn't you have...replace "cox" with "roosters"? (or have roosters in the url address?)

That might be an overkill Dave. I think the original poster just wanted a temporary GFI to work off of.

I haven't seen one of those. But I *do* have an in-line portable GFI - it plugs into a standard 15 A outlet and has a 15 A female plug. Plug a standard power bar into it, and you have a GFI-protected power bar.

That is what I would really like to find !!

Home Depot: Not listed on their website, but I bet they carry them in the stores.

In addition, just about any electrical supply house will carry them.

Thanks Derbydad103 !! I am headed to Lowe's tomorrow !!!
