[sudo-discuss] All kitchen appliances moved to Sudo, due to kitchen electrical issue

[Steve Berl]

GFCI devices do NOT protect against overcurrent like a circuit breaker.
They protect against ground faults (an imbalance of the current in the hot
and neutral wires).

If there are too many devices plugged into a GFCI, and none of them are
defective, then it is expected that the circuit breaker would trip first.
