Simply put the clamp-on on the third wire neutral at the GFCI.
It does not have any impact on GFCI operation or safety issues. If I remember correctly, in the fog banks of memory, bypassing inside the wall service box is frowned upon by insurers and possibly violates the NEC [USA]. I'm getting old, memory stalls at times, but I remember something from the late 1950s [college days] regarding bypassing inside the wall box is NAW NAW NAW. /s/ DD Jimmie D wrote: My HAndheld trips my GFCI breaker.

I've read that some newer models have better resistance to false triggering from RF. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

I think trying a different brand of GFCI is a good idea. In my experience,
in my house, I have had some that fail and just trip, no matter what's plugged into it. Buying a new one solved the problem. I have also noticed that the number of years they last varies from one GFCI outlet to the next. In all cases, when the outlet needed to be replaced, it would continually trip to the point it didn't do any good to have anything plugged into it because it wouldn't get power. That is really good though, because you want the device to fail that way rather than to fail, still supply power, and you not know about it. |
