So the common advice is to use GFCI outlets, idea being, no fried reefers.
While I appreciate staying out of the frier just as much as the next person, my GFCI tripped last night. For no apparent reason. In fact, nothing is "actually" running yet (still building), but the light wouldn't go on when I turned the kessil intensity dial... because the power was cut by the GFCI.
This is not uncommon in my experience with GFCI outlets, etc. Some worse than others, because of quantum mechanics, old wiring, cosmic rays, who knows. They trip when there's no obvious need or reason for them to do that- at least, it happens in a way that doesn't save any lives.
How do people deal with this?
