Is there a GFI plug in for an RV?
If the downstream items were connected to the GFI’s Line terminals, there would be no GFI protection past that 1st GFI device. If one wired the pedestals this way, there would be 2 plug-ins on the pedestal – one for RV’s with GFI’s built in and one for older units without GFI protection built in.
Do you need a GFI transfer switch for a portable generator?
Most built-in GFCI’s found on portable generators protect the household type 15/20A, 120-volt outlets, and not on the 120/240 outlets that are used to connect to home transfer switches. The only time you’ll need a GFI transfer switch to connect the generator to your home, is if your generator is fully GFCI protected.
Why does the pedestal GFI on my RV keep tripping?
The sensor circuitry in the downstream RV GFI (even without anything plugged into it) is causing the pedestal GFI to think it (the pedestal GFI) is sensing a ground fault leakage in what is plugged into it (in this case the RV with it’s own GFI circuitry), and it is instant trip.
