Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how many test/reset cycles normal duty GFCI outlets are
designed for?

I have an outlet that is located on the kitchen isle and is convenient for
charging cellphones. So, I have the chargers plugged in and when we leave
the house I would like to simply push the "Test" button to kill the
chargers. When we come back, I would press "Reset" and start charging
again. I am trying to eliminate the phantom loads but if it will wear GFCI
outlet out too soon it would make no sense, so I'm trying to find out if
this would be a good idea.

Thanks!



i got curious once and checked the amp draw of a couple cell phone
chargers, with nothing charging... not plugged in to phone the load
was in the low milli amp area, basically nothing

now the cable box we had was 50 watts.

your better off chasing loads that matter
