I made a workbench that allows me to have my tools flip down out of the way when I don’t need them

According to wilkipedia:

A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)[a] is an electrical safety device that quickly breaks an electrical circuit with leakage current to ground.

Similarly, this wikipedia article has GFCI listed under the "other" section for types of circuit breakers.

If both an EE and wikipedia are saying it's a circuit breaker I am gonna have to trust them unless you can give a real good explanation why they are wrong. I get why they aren't the "typical" circuit breaker because they have a different mechanism, but they seem to literally "break the circuit."
