Re: The "I Hate GFCIs" thread
'' GFCIs, at least older ones, can be tripped by inductive turn-off transients. Often, at home, when I turn off the MIG welder, which is an older one with a 60 Hz transformer the size of a small watermelon, GFCIs all over the house trip. The shop, where the welder is, is on a separate feeder, but no matter. It may be tripping my neighbors' GFCIs for all I know. ''
I just kinda like this statement on the welder. I had a old hobartt tig, that sucker dimmed the lights in my house and the next doors neighbors. Then I finally cooked the 25 kva pad mount transformer on day.
