I agree with the guy that they do seem to do that. If
you had a
licensed electrician put the thing in I would not
sweat it. If though
the feed somehow could have gotten wet, that's what
gfci is intended to
react to, which may indicate some sort of leak
somewhere ? Did they
run the outdoor wire thru a conduit and all that jazz
?


No offense, but you say that if it was a licensed
electrician it's OK don't sweat it, but then you ask
how the installation was done? The OP isn't likely to
know whether it was done to "all that jazz" or he
wouldn't have posted here.

IMO, that's an unacceptable situation and the
electrician/contractor needs to be put on notice that
it needs to be taken care of.


Hi,
Taken care of? OP'er said it rained. GFCI did it's job.
Unless it keeps happening over and over, I wouldn't worry about it.
Tripped once after rain and..... hmmm, What is your idea? GFCI should
never trip? If not, when does it suppose to trip?
