Got hold of Northwoods (maker of of Arctic Fox) tech line. They say there is one GFI plug to do both circuits. Not sure how that is possible. Can anyone confirm that a gfi plug can protect anything on a separate breaker?.
Well this is easy to explain.. You need to study a whole lot more.
The GFCI protects not outlets but people who are using appliances or tools or lamps that are plugged into GFCI protected outlets.. GFCI's are required where water may be present, Kitchen, Bath and patio are the biggies, Dining table is ... sometimes considered a wet spot.
Thus your setup is like this
Shore--Main breakers--Branch Breaker---GFCI---Protected outlets.
Shore---Main breakers Branch breaker---NON PROTECTED OUTLETS
Shore---main Breakers Branch Breaker, Air conditioner or Fridge, or Microwave, Or converter, Or Or Or...
IN short there are only a few outlets (in my case five) with GFCI protection, (And five more without it)
