Question:
Hello and thanks for the information.
Can I install GFCI breakers to protect all the receptacle outlets in the kitchen, or do I need GFCI receptacle devices at each box installed? It seems more efficient and less costly to install the breakers.
Thanks.

Answer:
Hi Alex,
The requirements for GFCI protection of receptacles in dwelling kitchens can be accomplished using either listed GFCI circuit breakers or listed GFCI receptacle devices. Installing the breaker type GFCI offers the advantage of GFCI protection for the entire branch circuit.
Hope this is useful.
