I have four circuits, each on a GFCI...and they have never tripped once. They are trying to tell you something. I don't think that is normal.

You'd think, but what? I can't find a voltage potential when I put on a multimeter. I've had about 4 or 5 unexplained trippings in 4 years. So it's not like it happens ALL the time.. Once was when the house next door was being built, weird. I think the vibrations caused by the excavator who was vibrating/packing-down gravel somehow caused it to trip?

Today it happened shortly after the lights turned on, so it's hard to imagine that's not just coincidence..

Don't really know how to go about diagnosing and correcting though..
