You can pull as many amps on a GFCI as it's rated for - usually 20 amps. But like any other outlet, constant use (over three hours) limits the usage by 85%. That's a rule of thumb - in other words only use constant 17 amps on a 20 Amp outlet. But it's best not to push it too much, depending on what else is on the circuit.

Does that mean that I could pull many amps through the GFI as long as they where balanced? In other words should I panic?
