I may be a cunt, but I'm not an ignorant cunt. I don't constantly boast about how I "get away with" nor do I find imaginary boogeymen hiding under every rock. I know what I am capable of doing and doing well. I don't need to constantly mouth off about how clever I am. So go fuck yourself. -- "I am a river to my people."

Thanks for that Chuck. I think the GFCIs that I have are probably OK but are just not capable of handling the inductive kickback from my stuff. Eric |

The inductive kick of >turning on the motor was enough to "do it". >Jonesy I am pretty much convinced now that it is the inductive kickback that is causing the problem. The clipper motor is more akin to a solenoid and I figured out that the washer is almost always tripping the GFCI when a solenoid valve is turned off. In any case the tripping ONLY occurs when the load is removed. Eric |

They provide a level of safety against arcing that is likely to cause a fire. The human risk is greater than shock. And certainly GFCI functionality is NOT needed in every circuit in your home. Add the GFCIs where the local risk of shock warrants the installation. UK now requires gfci protection (at the panel) on all domestic circuits. So when smoke particles land on the fire alarm mains supply wiring, the fire alarm loses its power. Great eh. NT |

| Terry Schwartz <tschw10117@aol.com>: Jul 25 07:30AM -0700 No one expects a normal extension cord or appliance built with the correct spacings and dielectric materials to arc. Arcs typically occur at fatigued wires, wires under mechanical tension, screws on outlets and switches, and similar connections, sometimes in a lamp socket or poorly wired junction, wire nut, set screw, push in terminal (JUST DON'T USE THOSE). |

No. I don't know enough about these things and how they work. I just wanted to find out why they were tripping. Now that it may be I have the answer I'll try it and if new, higher quality GFCIs work then that will be great and the question answered. Eric |
| Fox's Mercantile <jdangus@att.net>: Jul 25 09:22AM -0500 Anyone else have one of these? I need to find the BIOS settings that will recognize the hard drive. Is there a news group or forum to look for as well? Thankies -- "I am a river to my people." Jeff-1.0 WA6FWi http:foxsmercantile.com |
