Two issues I typically see regarding split-circuit kitchen receptacles are:

1. Why does my breaker trip when I replace the receptacle?
2. Should I replace the receptacle with ground fault circuit protection (GFCI) devices?

In this video I take a deep into the mechanics of the split-circuit kitchen receptacle, and review the merit (and challenges) of replacing them with GFCIs to provide ground fault protection.

I expose the most common mistake made when replacing these devices and how to rectify it. I also demonstrate the steps to switching the split-circuit receptacle out to GFCIs, and ask the question of whether there is a need to do so.
