Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) & Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS)

[Darwin stinton]

This weekend I placed a 1000va UPS on my System which is plugged into my dedicated 20 amp circuit that is protected with a GFCI. I then realized that the UPS is now the power line conditioner, surge protector and backup power for my system. But the question is will it protect me now from being electrocuted as it's between the GFCI and my system, and in the event something fails or I make some dumb mistake, will I get electrocuted?

So! How many people have placed an external GFCI on the output of there UPS?

I would certainly suggest adding a GFCI after any power source. So yeah - sounds like the right solution! You can never really have too many GFCI's around water anyways... ;-)
