Ericson Portable GFCI & Outlet Box

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, or GFCI, protects the user against ground faults. When the GFCI detects a ground fault or current imbalance, it cuts off power to the circuit to protect against electrical shock or electrocution, as well as fires.

You can commonly find GFCI outlets installed in areas exposed to water, like bathrooms or kitchens. A portable GFCI brings this GFCI protection to more temporary locations, like job or construction sites. They may also see use in outdoor applications.
