Anything electric, AC or DC

Anyone try something like this?

Saw one of these on the shelf the other day when I was out getting light bulbs to replace all the ones the movers wouldn't pack. Anyone ever try something like in their TD? I thought it would make putting in the circuit breaker and GFI a lot simpler. You could just plug the rest of your AC circuits into it.

...keep in mind a GFIC and a circuit brealer are two different things and do two different things...the one you linked to is a GFIC...it sez nothing about a circuit breaker...............

Your right about the circuit breaker and GFCI thing. I did some more digging and found out it's made by Woods. I've sent them an email to find our for sure if it offers a circuit breaker or not. I'll let everyone now what the verdict is when I get a response.

I never did get a reply back so I guess we can assume that there is no circuit breaker included in this product. Too bad.

So why would you need a circuit breaker? Circuit breakers need to be installed to protect internal wiring. If you are using that device, you wouldn't have any internal wiring to protect.
