Potentially DANGEROUS advice.

You don't have to install a GFCI in every outlet. Just in the first outlet of the circuit, the rest that are downstream will be protected. Just have them in every circuit. ONLY if the GFCI outlet supports chaining, and ONLY if it is the first outlet in the circuit and ONLY if it (the circuit and the GFCI) is wired correctly! |

and ONLY if there is no DC current leakage, or DC grounds wired to the AC
grounds. Of course, this NEVER happens. ;-) -- Keith __ Pardon my driving, I'm reloading. "John R Weiss" wrote in message news:%D8vc.3368$sI.620@attbi_s52...

Keith,
GFCI breakers make certain that outgoing current always matches incoming current. They do not monitor earth. They monitor phase to phase and phase to neutral with a bridge circuit. There should never be more than 50 milliamps of current on the safety circuit and on a boat there must be "0" amperes for corrosion reasons. On a boat, there can only be one earth reference for all loads both AC and DC. DC return is not earth, it must also be completely separate.

In fact, I can't recall seeing any in the last 20 years that didn't. and ONLY if it is the first outlet in the circuit Certainly not a hard thing to do. and ONLY if it (the circuit and the GFCI) is wired correctly! If you can't wire it right, hire someone who can. Rod |

I've installed a couple, before I knew to look for it. and ONLY if it is the first outlet in the circuit Certainly not a hard thing to do. ....assuming the installer is electrical system savvy... |
