Should Appliances be plugged into GFI outlets?

That GFI trip can be a small crack in the heating element, not measurable with a meter.  Meters do not generally measure with high enough voltage to induce such leakage currents as can cause a trip of an element soaked in water.

Thats why you use a megger

It only takes about 6 milliamp to trip a GFI. 10 mA kills people. Wet skin, much less current.

 

No wonder you guys have issues 

ours run to about 30ma for tripping , which makes better sense as you can have several things on the circuit with a little bit of earth leakage without tripping the circuit
