[RE-wrenches] Tripping gfi

[Mac Lewis]

I had him check to see if it trips once the generator is latched and he
said it does not trip.  I thought I had verified all of the DC and AC
bonding occurred only once in the system but its been a few years and it
was a construction project so someone might have decided to bond the main
service after we had left.

I'll report back on what I find out.

Thanks
