TRC ShockShield Single-Outlet GFCI Adapter

I am moving into an apartment that does not have GFCIs in the kitchen (which is allowed because the building was built before the requirement) and I wanted to have GFCI protection. Since it is generally not allowed to install any new receptacles if you rent, I bought several of these which plug into the existing outlets to provide GFCI protection. The apartment also has two-prong (ungrounded) outlets, and this will allow you to safely plug 3-prong appliances into a two-prong outlet when used with a regular 2 prong to 3 prong adapter. The two to three prong adapter can be used alone without a GFCI, but without the GFCI you lose the extra safety that the grounding usually provides.

I like that they are portable. So far, when the electrical device (landscape lights), which are connected to the TRC, any abnormal events trips the TRC, so I know that the TRC is doing it's job. The TRC tripped a lot before I totally water-proofed the landscape light transformer (120 volt AC to 12 volt AC)-to-house electricity. After I totally water-proofed the connection, everything is fine. Now, lightning trips the TRC, which is great....the TRC is doing it's job.

I needed this since I do a lot of DIY electronics stuff and I don't want to burn down the house. While I can't say how well it works, since I haven't had the need trip the breaker, it seems well made and I'm trusting it's working. Gulp.

Got some of these for a power strip outside and for a couple fish tanks...they work but if the power goes out they trip. Also, when using 2-way radios in the same room they sometimes (I haven't found a predictable way) trip. But they do their job and protect against shocks when water gets on the power strip!
