Trace Inverters and GFCIs

[BIGRED1]

Just thought I'd pass along something I learned the hard way. Some GFCI receptacles aren't compatible with modified sine wave inverters. Most coaches have this type rather than the pure sine wave inverters. I was getting random GFCI trip-outs in my coach and after much trial and error discovered a list of GFCIs that had been tested with Xantrex/Trace inverters on their website. I replaced the one in the bathroom of my coach with a Hubbell brand GFCI that I purchased at Graybar and it is working fine now. The typical ones that you can get at your local home center will NOT work(believe me!).

Thanks for the tip. I'm sure your post will save someone frustration when their replaced GFI starts tripping.
