GFCI works by comparing the current on the hot side and the neutral side.
If they are different by more than a very small
You'll need a solar powered battery pack if totally remote but instead of a
cell phone... you just need a 4g modem.

I have not seen those... but there are GMS Controlled Relays that can be

We use such devices...
Just google for 'GSM Remote Switch' or better yet search on Ebay for

GFCI's are to detect and prevent leakage currents.
They monitor the current in the hot and the neutral lines.

Ever stood barefoot on the ground and held a drill or saw and gotten

You have to have GFCI outlets indoors? I've never heard of that
regulation before.
A few thoughts come to mind:
* Battery backup with 2 or so hours of run time along with a remote page
for a power outage. Doesn't prevent you from having to dispatch but it
keeps you from having an outage.

We don't use them at towers, but I have here at home auto resetting GFCI
outlets for my
Saltwater reef tank. Got them from Home Depot.. They reset automatically

I don't think you understand. A GFCI outlet is a mechanical device. You

Just replace it. It's probably failing. They're a pain when they start failing
but when you get a good one they're fine.

GFCIs are for quick blows for things like dropping something in

I agree, there's fuse panel, why the heck is a GFCI needed too
To add to the anecdotal evidence against cheap GFCI outlets, I had to
remove one in a building when spontaneous trips started occurring randomly
(e.g. once every couple weeks) after an adjacent building received a direct
lightening strike.
For that matter, the GFCI contributed nothing to
I thought GFCI's were to protect circuits from moisture mainly, AFAIK they
do not provide any type of protection for devices other than cutting the
circuit if it senses a ground fault.

This is true. The GFCI outlet happened to already be in the building when

benefited from lightening isolation.
