Re: Gfi?

Michael do the receptacle trip or does the inverter just shutdown? Maybe the inverter sees enough drainage to the ground inside the plug that it things there is a short somewhere. You know what is interesting? If one were to plug a 200' extension cord into a GFIC and just lay it out with nothing attached, there is likely enough drainage*to trip the receptacle.
