No, it does not trip the GFI before it trips the breaker. The purpose of the GFI is to detect and shut off the current if there is an imbalance of current between the 'hot' and the neutral. That imbalance can be in the milliamp range. The circuit braker shuts off the current if it exceeds a specified amount, usually in the amp range.
Yo, you should continue this series and show us the progress.

Oh snap! Thanks for the explanation! I just figured it was better to have it there than not have it lol
@@slightlymodified501 You absolutely do need it! The GFI saves lives, the circuit breaker saves equipment.
