Magnum Hybrid Inverter and ground fault
Hi all, I've run into a problem with the Magnum 3000 hybrid. It appears to be tripping 15 amp ground fault outlets.

I gave up trying to figure out the how and why of mine. (Xantrex Prosine 2.0 inverter). If shore power is plugged into a GFCI it ALWAYS trips that breaker.
UNLESS:
The breakers to the rig's GFCI circuit(s)are open (off).
THEN plug the rig into the shore power GFCI.
I discovered this out by:
Opening (OFF) all the breakers in the rig.
Connecting to the GFCI shore power.
Close main RV breaker.
Close all individual circuits one by one.
All RV breakers were on, so was the power!
I went back and unplugged and replugged with first only one breaker on, then two etc. Found that I only had a problem if breakers to either or both rig's GFCI circuits were on when shore power was connected. They worked fine if energised AFTER shore power was connected.
