Lee, this even works remotely without control wires, brilliant.
Thanks. :-)
Please note that you should adjust the "ground fault resistor" value based on
the
current that the GFCI detects.
Good point. I assumed a standard USA household 120vac 5ma GFCI, but as
you point out, others have trip points as high as 20ma. How they decided
that 20ma is OK when it is clearly enough to kill you is beyond me. But
anyway...
You could use a small 4-watt or 7-watt light bulb as your "trip the
GFCI" resistor. They'll draw well over 30ma to trip the GFCI, without
any risk of overheating.
