Yeah. Drop the GFCI.
If an inspector whines about it get his home phone and tell him he'll have to
meet you at the site every time it goes down because the GFCI technology is so
worthless. It won't take but 2 trips and he'll beg you to take them out!
And if you think it's bad now. Just wait till you have to put in arc fault
breakers everywhere. The whole house has to have them nowadays. Can't even
run a shop vac in my house if it's in one of the rooms with an arc fault. Half
my skill saws won't work etc.
Good ideas, both. Rotten overly sensitive implementation.
The market for used arc faults will be huge sooner than later. Every homeowner
with a screw driver will pull them all out and put in normal breakers :-).
The NEC is getting to be worse than the dept. of ecology!

Subject: [WISPA] Preventing stupid outages
Ok, so to keep to code, we have a GFCI outlet for most of our towers. One of
them tripped last night, causing me to have to put on some 80 miles just to
push a button (yes, it could have been much worse).
Is there anything to prevent stupid outages like this from happening without
violating code?
Thanks,
