Power Problems with GFI

[DJ88]

Patrick,

I have a single cord that comes from the wall socket into a box with two separate GFCI's in parallel. Then from the GFCI's it goes to three separate power"bars"(boxes with multiple wall sockets inside).

It sounds like you have somethign that isn't shorted but is very close to it. As it runs(electricity flows) it builds up a potential between the two points. Once this difference gets high enough it gets enough energy to jump the distance between the two spots and trips your GFCI.

That is the only thing that comes to my mind. You will have to take a look at the wiring you have done and as well the equipment you have. Run without a piece for a while see if it trips.. remove another one etc etc etc..

Or you may have too much on it..

Short of redoing everything that is about all I can add right now.. It could be simpler than that... but..

In holiday mode.. Can't think too hard.. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
