I got three new GFCI outlets.
One Hubbell (commercial grade), one Pass and Seymour (hospital grade), one Leviton (home grade).
They all work with the test button.
The Hubbell I like a lot, will put that in the boat. Seems to be nice quality.
The P & S had a slight buzz with the MSW, which I did not like. First GFCI I got that ever made a buzz on an MSW inverter, I was not impressed.
The Leviton seems cheap feeling, that I put in the bath, the P and S out on the back deck.
My test was simply to find out if a short to ground through a GFCI would save a MSW inverter from blowing up, that was my entire intention. Actually I think a short with resistance will be ok tripping the GFCI as I had tested that, but a hard serious low resistance short will cause damage even with a GFCI. I dont know why people want to make fun of finding out stuff.
My test was with a schumacher 750 watt running off a 3 amp hour lawn mower start battery, so the available current flows were limited.
The links are good, thanks. I had seen the first one, the ABYC pdf I had not read that one.
