Isolation transformer in place of a GFCI
In article ,
says...
I've heard about how the inductive spark at the run start switch on some of these motors can cause GFCI's to randomly trip out and sometimes they are even destroyed by this. And I know also that with this guy if it starts to become a constant problem the GFCI will simply be replaced with a standard duplex receptacle. So I have
to ask if on the off hand chance the motor wiring shorts to ground, and if the motor frame is properly grounded in theory there would be no chance that anyone in the pool would be affected by this....right? Lenny
The words Theory and Proper are correct, but sometimes the proper
becomes undone and the theory goes out the window.
