Electrical issue with GFCI outlet

It sure looks like the orange Romex on the left is connected to AC Input 1. Orange Romex typically is 10 gauge, so this may be a 30A circuit. (The color coding is not an NEC requirement, but is very much standardized among manufacturers.) The two yellow (12 gauge, typically) Romex cables on the right can't really be seen very well in the picture, but I assume they would be connected to outputs one and two respectively. The ground wires do look to agree with the standard color coding scheme.

Thanks for the reply Drew.

Your OH SO CORRECT!!!!! I mislabeled the outouts as inputs! Sorry for the confusion!

AC output 1, the 20 amp circuit kills the entertainment center and the GFCI circuit in question.
AC output 2, the 15 amp circuit kills the microwave circuit. I'll dig up the manual on the GE Profile Microwave convection.

I was thinking about swapping. I'll just have to determine the load on the entertainment circuit. I find it hard to believe it would draw more than 15 amps. But we are talking two circuits here.

States in the manual that the appliance should be connected to a 15 to 20 amp branch circuit. So I would assume the 15 amp is OK but I did have it trip the circuit twice in the last 2 years we owned the coach

Looking at the picture the orange romex is from the AC panel because it's wired to the AC input

one yellow romex on the right is wired to AC output1 and the other yellow romex is wired to AC output2 so it does look like the grounds are all connected together.

The circuit feeding the entertainment center and the CFCI outlet might 1st run up to the entertainment center then over to the GFCI outlet by the sink or perhaps it's splits in a J-box somewhere. VERY tight behind the entertainment center. I think I'll pull a couple drawers below the sink and look for a Jbox.

Stay tuned.


Thanks for the reply.
