🔌🏡 Shocking Origins: How GFCIs Were Invented In this episode we explore how, in the 1950s, researchers even used college students to test electrical shock thresholds and discovered the importance of milliamps for safety. That research led to ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), devices designed to trip quickly at specific current levels to prevent harm. The episode explains how GFCIs protect most people—often shutting off before a shock is felt—but also notes that very small children with less body mass can still be vulnerable if exposed to electricity without a properly functioning GFCI. 🎧 Tune in now to learn more about your home's electrical system.

Luke Strange from Cool Hand Electric is here to explain. A Tamper-Resistant (TR) outlet looks like a standard outlet, but it includes a built-in safety mechanism designed to protect children and prevent electrical accidents. Inside the outlet are spring-loaded shutters that only open when equal pressure is applied to both slots—like when plugging in an actual electrical cord. If a child tries to insert a paperclip, toy, or any foreign object into one slot, the shutters stay closed, blocking access to the live electrical parts. This makes TR outlets one of the most effective ways to child-proof your home’s electrical system. In fact, the National Electrical Code now requires tamper-resistant outlets in most new residential construction, especially in areas accessible to children. They offer safety without sacrificing function—and they’re affordable, too. 💡 Protect your family with modern, code-compliant outlets.
