Every GFCI outlet has two buttons, one labeled test and the other says reset.

每個 GFCI 插座都有兩個按鈕，一個標有測試，另一個標有重置。

情態副詞

When you push the test button the reset should actually pop up and that means the outlet is working correctly.

當您按下測試按鈕時，復位鍵應該會彈出，這意味著插座工作正常。

If when you push the test nothing happens, that means the outlet is defective and needs to be replaced.

如果按下測試鍵後沒有任何反應，說明插座有問題，需要更換。

But many people are fooled because the outlet is still putting out power and it seems like it's working.

但很多人都上當受騙了，因為插座仍在供電，而且看起來還在工作。

So in this video I'm going to show you how to replace a GFCI outlet from start to finish.

是以，在本視頻中，我將向你展示如何從頭到尾更換 GFCI 插座。

Start by turning off the power to the outlet.

You can do that by switching off the circuit breaker, but even if you do this I still recommend checking the outlet with a light to make certain that there's no power on.

您可以通過關閉斷路器來做到這一點，但即使這樣做了，我還是建議您用燈檢查插座，以確保沒有電源。

Next remove the two screws holding on the outlet cover plate and now you need to remove the screws that are holding on the outlet itself.

然後卸下固定插座蓋板的兩顆螺絲，現在需要卸下固定插座本身的螺絲。

Now with the outlet free you can pull it out of the box and see what's going on.

現在，插座空出來了，你可以把它從盒子裡拿出來看看發生了什麼。

Because GFCI outlets are wired differently than regular outlets and you can easily get it wrong.

因為 GFCI 插座的接線方式與普通插座不同，很容易弄錯。

These outlets are different because they've got kind of an in and an out, except they call it line and load.

這些插座與眾不同，因為它們有輸入和輸出，只不過他們稱之為線路和負載。

The line is the power going into the outlet and the load can feed other outlets down the circuit.

線路是進入插座的電源，負載可以饋送電路中的其他插座。

So in your kitchen you might only have one GFCI outlet, but you could actually be feeding multiple outlets afterwards.

是以，在廚房裡，您可能只有一個 GFCI 插座，但實際上您可能要為多個插座供電。

Here's a brand new GFCI outlet and when we flip it over you can see this piece of tape covering two of the terminals and that tape is covering the load terminals because remember the load would be other outlets down the circuit.

這是一個全新的 GFCI 插座，當我們把它翻過來時，你可以看到這塊膠帶覆蓋著兩個端子，膠帶覆蓋著負載端子，因為記住負載是電路中的其他插座。

We've got the power going into the GFCI outlet into the line terminals and when we flip it over you can see that the load terminals are feeding that other outlet.

我們將電源接入 GFCI 插座的線路端子，翻過來就可以看到負載端子為另一個插座供電。

And even though it's just an ordinary outlet it is being completely protected by the GFCI outlet because it was wired correctly.

儘管這只是一個普通的插座，但由於接線正確，它完全受到 GFCI 插座的保護。

The point of me showing you that is that you need to pay attention when you first pull your outlet out of the box because if you've only got two wires it's a little bit easier because they'll only be connected to the line terminals and you won't remove the tape from the new outlet at all.

我給你看這個的目的是，當你第一次從盒子裡拔出插座時需要注意，因為如果你只有兩根線，那就會容易一些，因為它們只會連接到線路端子上，而你根本不會從新插座上拆下膠帶。

But if you've got four wires like I do here, you need to make sure that you're identifying which ones are the line.

但如果你像我一樣有四根電線，就需要確定哪根是線路。

Now that's actually easy to do, just look at the existing outlet itself because there'll be a label on it saying line.

這其實很容易做到，只需查看現有插座本身，因為上面會有一個標籤，寫著線路。

And you can't just go by looks and match them up because that old outlet has the line feed on the bottom and the new one has the line on the top.

你不能只看外觀就把它們配對起來，因為舊插座的進線在底部，而新插座的進線在頂部。

So now take a look at the back of your existing outlet, figure out which wires are going to the line spots and move those wires over to your new outlets.

現在看看現有插座的背面，找出哪些電線通向線路點，然後將這些電線移到新插座上。

You're going to always have two types of wires, a black and a white.

你總是會有兩種電線，一種黑色，一種白色。

The black is called the hot and the white is the neutral.

黑色稱為 "熱"，白色為 "中性"。

The white wire will always get connected to the silver screw and the black wire will always get connected to the brass or the gold looking screw.

白線始終與銀色螺絲相連，黑線始終與黃銅或金色螺絲相連。

Now the nice plus about GFCI outlets is you don't usually have to hook the wires.

現在，GFCI 插座的好處是你通常不需要連接電線。

They have a clamping type of mechanism that you just insert the wire in and then screw the terminal tight to squeeze it in place.

它們有一種夾緊裝置，只需將導線插入其中，然後擰緊端子即可將其擠壓到位。

And if your outlet had four wires, now you can go ahead and pull that tape off and connect up the two wires that are in the load spot.

如果你的插座有四根電線，現在你可以把膠帶撕掉，然後把負載位置的兩根電線連接起來。

And then finally you need to move that ground wire from your old outlet to the new one.

最後，您需要將舊插座上的接地線移到新插座上。

Now this original outlet had a hook at the end of it, but the newer style outlet has a clamp so I went ahead and cut the hook off and I just slid the wire right in and tightened it down.

原來的插座末端有一個鉤子，但新式插座有一個夾子，所以我把鉤子剪掉，然後把電線滑進去，擰緊。

Now with everything wired up, I'm ready to put the outlet back into the box.

現在，一切線路都接好了，我準備把插座放回盒子裡。

As you start to push the wires back in the box, I'd recommend double checking those screws because sometimes when you move those wires around they can loosen up just a little bit.

當你開始把電線推回盒子裡時，我建議你仔細檢查這些螺絲，因為有時當你移動這些電線時，它們可能會鬆動一點點。

With everything looking good, now I can put that outlet back into the box and tighten these screws down.

一切都很順利，現在我可以把插座放回盒子裡，然後擰緊這些螺絲。

Now I'm ready to turn the power back on and make sure that the outlet is working properly.

現在我準備重新接通電源，確保插座正常工作。

Now this newer one has a small LED in the bottom corner.

現在，這個新產品的底部有一個小的 LED 指示燈。

It's really faint, but you can just see that it's green and if the outlet should break or have a problem, that LED will actually turn red.

如果插座壞了或出了問題，LED 燈就會變成紅色。

But the easiest way of course to check this thing is to now press the test button and with that reset popping up, that means this outlet is working just fine.

當然，最簡單的檢查方法就是按下測試按鈕，如果出現重置提示，就說明這個插座工作正常。

And because I had other wires connected to the load end, that means the other outlets on the circuit are now also GFCI protected the way they were intended.

由於我在負載端接了其他電線，這就意味著電路上的其他插座現在也按照原定方式受到了 GFCI 保護。

Another great tool I'd recommend purchasing is one of these outlet testers.

我建議購買的另一個好工具是這種插座測試儀。

These things are under $15, they tell you if the outlet is wired correctly, and they also show you the exact voltage that you're getting out of the socket.

這些東西不到 15 美元，能告訴你插座的接線是否正確，還能顯示插座的準確電壓。

And the real secret behind these outlets is you don't know how many other outlets are on this circuit being protected, which is why it's so important that if you've got a faulty outlet, you get it changed out as soon as possible.

這些插座背後的真正祕密是，你不知道在這個受保護的電路上還有多少其他插座，這就是為什麼如果你的插座出現故障，你必須儘快更換它的重要原因。
