I'm curious about the safety implications of plugging a television into a GFCI outlet. As a professional practitioner in the field of finance and cryptocurrency, I'm well-versed in managing risk and ensuring security, but this electrical matter has piqued my interest. GFCI outlets are designed to prevent electrical shock by shutting off the Flow of electricity if a ground fault is detected. Given that televisions are electrical appliances, I'm wondering if plugging them into GFCI outlets provides any added layer of protection, or if it's even necessary. I'd appreciate any insights into this matter from those who are knowledgeable in electrical safety and standards.
