But does using an extension cord disable this protection?

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

It does if you plug it into an outlet without the protection.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No and no one said it would

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You can just rip off the grounding prong to bypass the protection. I keep having to fix cord ends because too many dipshits at work can't be bothered to look at the at what they're doing when they plug something in.

Not if the extension cord is into the GFCI outlet. It doesn't care what's plugged in. It's similar to a circuit breaker. It doesn't care what's drawing power, only how it's being drawn.
