[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 50103, member: 34"] Re: General Electrical Questions... 1. GFCIs do not trip because of excessive current. If you're tripping GFCIs you either have a major wiring problem, one of the amps is old and has a wiring problem, or the GFCIs are bad (very common for GFCIs to go bad). 2. Once you build a custom spider box (correctly) you'll have spent as much as it would cost for the Ampshop or whoever to make one for you. Don't even bother to do it yourself, the liability isn't worth it anyway. A box from Ampshop to do this will be less than $200. 3. Have you ever tripped the breaker for the 30A receptacle? If not, you're not walking the current line. 4. Putting eight 20-amp circuits on a 30 amp 240V receptacle is legal, but pointless. Four 20A circuits make sense. [/QUOTE]
