A wiring setup for a GFCI outlet with additional standard outlets connected downstream. The power source connects to the GFCI's line terminals, which are designed to receive incoming power. The load terminals of the GFCI outlet provide protection to the downstream outlets, meaning any ground faults occurring in the standard outlets will trip the GFCI. Black wires represent hot connections, white wires represent neutral, and green or bare copper wires are for grounding. This setup ensures that all outlets connected downstream from the GFCI are protected against electrical faults and shocks.
