Suppose there were two gfcis on the same circuit -- am assuming you
mean in series -- what WOULD be the problem if they actually
did trip one?

Sure seems easy to end up in a two-gfcis-in-series situation:
a house that already has *some* gfci protection -- owner decides
to put in a whole-house gfci.

What's he gotta do, remove all those previous ones?

And suppose he doesn't -- what danger?

Thanks,
