Rewire Member Registered: 02/23/08 Posts: 167 Loc: Missouri	Originally Posted By: Alan Nadon How about someone making a gizmo that detects when the GFI trips with a noise and flashing LED to let the occupant know that it has tripped. Even with a couple of AAA batteries it shouldn't be much bigger than a cell phone and could plug into any receptacle that is protected. It could even be built so the appliance plugs into it and then into the receptacle. Wouldn't have to since it is detecting loss of power on the line side, but it would be convenient. Alan The GFI receptacles we install have an indicator light that shows power to the receptacle

Even funnier....they could all be in the same job! _________________________ John

Story I heard is the EC has a 'source' down your way that is super economical! Guess ya get what ya pay for! _________________________ John

harold endean Member Registered: 02/16/02 Posts: 1823 Loc: Boonton, NJ	Here in NJ garage door receptacles do not have to be GFI protected. That is an exception to the NEC adopted by NJ. It is not readily accessible. However they do have to be TR receptacles. Go figure! Edited by harold endean (02/20/10 11:29 AM)
