The plate features a UL plug with a built-in breaker (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, GFCI) for enhanced safety. This breaker:
1. Monitors electrical current flow. 2. Automatically trips (jumps) if it detects abnormalies, such as: - Ground faults. - Overheating. - Electrical surges.
Safety benefit: Protects users from electrical shock and potential fires.
However, when using a timer:
1. The timer's periodic on/off switching can trigger the GFCI breaker. 2. When the timer turns off, the breaker may trip, thinking there's an electrical issue. 3. When the timer turns back on, the breaker won't reset automatically.
Result: The plate won't turn back on until the breaker is manually reset.
