minermark Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 You're an electrician and you recommend removing GFCI from a garage and exterior receptacles? Remind me to never hire you. A lot of GFIs were installed by MORONS, maybe they were required to sell the house ? Maybe they were installed by the former homeowner? There is a CODE, look it it up.

bhenry Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I know the code, thank you. Perhaps you should follow your own advice. GFCI protection is required BY THE NEC in garages and exterior receptacles along with tamper resistant used in the garage and weather and tamper resistant receptacles and in-use covers for exterior receptacles. I am a master electrician and contractor in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) SIGH! Perhaps if all you MASTER ELECTRICIANS lived in my town and would actually respond to phone calls and emails instead of being asses on a forum I might have had this fixed by now. I realize this is a holiday weekend and folks are not at work....COOL, I am good with that. On the other hand, I can read a meter and would like to be able to tell the MASTER ELECTRICIAN what I know about the situation.Read the thread, I have mentioned a couple of times that I need a MASTER ELECTRICIAN. Get the F over yourself! Remind me of this thread next time you need an annual or hundred hour on your airplane, I'll be sure to jump right on it.

mungkiman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) What happens when you turn off all the other circuit breakers, except for this one GFCI circuit? If the GFCI now does not trip, my bet is that this circuit shares the neutral from another circuit. PITA to troubleshoot any other way. Good luck. Edit: If you're comfortable inside the panel, you could also turn off the main, and tighten all the connections.

USNRET Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 i have many techs waiting in line to even get near my mustang. That means Mustangs fail often since you have a line of techs. Teasing! I owned 64 1/2, 65, 69 Boss 302 and they all sucked but then I am a Chevy guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm convinced high humidity can cause these things to leak enough to trip. GFCI outlet in our case and in a garage. Tripping all the time when a cord is plugged up and its humid. Different cords do it too. Getting real tired of it. I'm gonna pull the GFCI outlet and toss it in the garbage. Installing a regular outlet feeding off a regular 15 amp circuit breaker. Problem will be solved. Now if I move a hot tub nearby I might rethink it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, this was what i was trying to convey, GFIs have their place, when installing i purchase the best 20A HP Grade. However some things get the best of me sometimes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
