      From: peterwieck33@gmail.com              The rule-of-thumb is that there should be no more than nine (9) devices on a       sincle circuit - a rule of thumb, not a code.              With a GFI *outlet*, there should be no more than three devices - including       the GFI. This is not a matter of code, but a matter of reducing false trips.       Each device past the GFI adds to that problem.              With a GFI *breaker*, the same rule-of-thumb applies - nine (9). But, as with       an outlet - the more devices, the more likely there will be false trips.              The difference between a Breaker and an Outlet - the breaker must go through       the off-cycle to be reset. The outlet may be reset just by pushing the button.              Peter Wieck       Melrose Park, PA              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
