Nuisance GFCI trips

[The10mmKid]

Has anyone experienced any nuisance trips with their setup?

I searched and didn't see any listed.

Just curious as I know SSR's can leak through their base.

Also feel there must be some condensate in the element housing.

Steel casters on your mobile stand?

Thanks,

Or perhaps your GFCI needs replaced...even if brand new, sometimes they are bad.

I have only had one, I guess, nuisance trip and that was my last brew, last weekend. Just turned out to be a loose ground at the element....

That'd do it too. Sounded like it was a refularly occurring thing. Not a one off that would have a reason and the gfci was doing its job.

If you suspect you have an actual ground fault problem, you could disconnect individual loads from the system and see if the problem goes away.

Bensiff's comment is valid as well. You may have a bad GFCI

Large inductive loads can cause your GFCI to trip. My electric hair clippers pop my 15A GFCI when I shut them off.

Highly inductive loads like large motors or even fluorescent lamps or fixtures on the same circuit can cause nuisance tripping of GFCIs which needless to say is not desirable for something like a refrigerator.
