Found this excerpt from a blog talking about inverters with GFCI outlets:
"These outlets were not really designed to have anything plugged down line from them, aside from the appliance and maybe an extension cord. Furthermore, your RV or boat likely has GFCI outlets located inside. Standard GFCI outlets tend to trip when they have other standard GFCI outlets down the line from them."
I guess I will be making my coffee outside until I do the hardwire.......
My Kisae has 20A GFCI outlets. I run an extension cord from it to my 120VAC Transfer Relay and tie in the AC ground there. Sounds like what what you're doing, or close enough. The Inverter case is grounded to the frame.
No problems with downstream GFCI outlets or the Inverter's GFCI outlet.
What inverter is it? COuld the Inverter's GFCI outlet be defective?
