My treadmill is tripping the GFCI for some reason lately. 20amp breaker, 12ga wire, 20amp gfci duplex outlet. Cleaned the treadmill motor, rollers etc. The treadmill works fine with my lightweight 17

I'm sure the EE that are on the list will correct me if I do not have this totally correct... As I remember the GFCI compares the current going into the device with the current coming back. If the di

I do know that treadmills specifically will trip arc-fault breakers, which are now required in bedrooms, so I'd bet they play havoc with the logic of a GFCI too. Is there anything in the manual rega

Well, I ended up running a long extension cord over to another outlet in the shop. This specific outlet itself is a non-gfci but it is "protected" by a gfci outlet that is further upstream in that pa

I had 4 fail in the home inspection of the last house we sold. I never trusted the wiring in the house though, too many times the lights would dim for no apparent reason. Patton -- Patton Dickson - h

In my old house, I tried using a 12-volt radio power supply plugged into a GFI outlet, and the GFI always tripped after a minute or so. When plugged into another GFI outlet (the same brand of GFI!) i

Most of the problems I have seen with mystery dimming or things just shutting off is from the cheap switches and outlets that allow for installation by just pushing the wires into the back of the de

I have three GFCIs in my hose right now. Two of them (one a seldom used bathroom now that my daughter has moved out, the other an unused outside circuit) don't trip with their built-in tester or my p

In addition to getting flaky, I believe there is a significant variation in sensitivity even when they are new. Doug's story seems to support that theory. Likely his radio power supply had a suppres
