GFI tripping

Personally, I would NOT plug any "critical" appliance, such as a freezer or sump pump, into a GFCI outlet. I would use a "single device" receptacle so an extension cord or tool could NOT be plugged into the unprotected receptacle, REGARDLESS of whether it met code or not.

Good Point hj,

I have tested many Electronic devices that were bought and used by our government, as per the specs of the
device being purchased with Your Tax Dollar.

You would be surprised to see how many devices Failed the manufactures spec, and we bought them anyway,
knowing they were Junk.

Your Tax Dollar at work...
