RE: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter tripping

Hi Brian: First, you should measure the current in the ground wire with an oscilloscope and a current probe or measure the voltage across a low-value resistance such as 10 ohms in series with the ground wire. Second, you should measure the current in the ground wire with a RMS ammeter.

RE: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter tripping

Thanks for the great information. Let me see if I'm comprehending it correctly. - A product can pass the leakage current test and not pose a hazard to the user but still trip a GFCI. In such cases, is there an alternative to the GFCI? If the NEC requires a GFCI in a location but a device used
