• Ground fault question, or other issue?
  • Could the GFCI be faulty? They do go.
  • I'm in the process of building an AC
    • To answer your questions
      • It sounds like you have somewhere to
  • Suspect a fault on the load side
  • First, assume the GFCI is OK.
    • Beyond what others have suggested
      • The charger does not have an inverter
    • I'd say replace the breaker.
      • Yeah, just bought one on eBay UK site
  • Hmm, if it only trips when there is a load...
    • Thanks. Between your feedback and Al's I have the clues to look for
    • Just went to the boat and checked - both circuits blow the breaker
    • Master breaker (RCD) replaced with identical unit
      • More measurements taken today
        • GFCI info
          • I think the measurements and replacement have eliminated the GFCI
            • How about borrowing a newer cord just to see?
        • Today's update on the shore power
          • You may have a bad shorepower connection at the dock
            • I have a bad connection mounted at the boat.
              • Damage at end of cord is often result of bad or loose wiring at recpt on boat or shore
                • Dont'cha get tired of tying up loose ends!!
                • Whoo wee... and we think the marine power cords are expensive and prone to failure...
                  • Heard GM is buying back the Volt
              • Someone on another forum told me about the Smartplug
                • My Opinion on Smart Plug
                  • The Story of Jack Heady
                    • Heh. Gee, I just had three pre-cancerous UV damage spots removed..... Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.
