I’m leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn’t understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I’m learning via a handful of books
Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats’ automatic litter box.
I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a “dumb” doorbell but the chime won’t work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work…

The bidet outlet just needs to be on the load side of the GFI.
That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson
On the back of the GFI the ports will be labeled, line or load. Line goes to the breaker box, load goes to all outlets you need protected.
Which books do you use? I’ve been wanting to get better at understanding home electricity but I’ll admit electricity scares me a bit
Black and Decker makes a series of books that are pretty good, I’ve been enjoying them so far. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring
I’ve also found various books from thrift shops to supplement as well as various resources from the internet
Is that book north America focused? In in the Netherlands so i expect things will be a bit different
