A GFCI outlet protects the ungrounded outlets on the same circuit when installed properly. Come along as I replace a GFCI that is feeding (and protecting) multiple downstream outlets. There are 3 sets of wires (neutral, hot, ground) coming into the outlet box. This video shows how to identify the hot wire coming in from the electrical panel with a voltage tester, and placement of the 6 line and load wires.

Note: If you own a multimeter, you can ring out neutral and ground with continuity, without working with live wires.
