in a kitchen or other place that has a high inductive current usage a
GFCI is likly to trip due to resonance set up in the ground line. if it
was in a place with capacitive loads it's true that the GFCI wouldn't
trip due to loading.

the gfci may be rated higher than the breaker, otherwise it would act
like a breaker anyway.

check the rating on the GFCI

trip the GFCI and see what else doesn't work in the house (it should be
limited to the kitchen)

My microwave is on a separate circuit with a outlet ( the type name
escapes me )...something fault or whatever. its white with a black and
red button. The specs of oven is 700watts, 120 v ac 60 hz, 10 amps.
Today, as reheating on high for 2 and 1/2 minutes, it conked out. This
never happened before. I pressed both buttons on the outlet which did
not seem to have any effect, so i had to go to the basement and reset
the fuse. Is there something wrong with the oven or the circuit?
