[RE-wrenches] generator tripping GFCI

[Ray]

I second Dave's comment on trying different GFCIs.  Definitely had some 
that wouldn't work correctly with generator/ inverter systems. I'd take 
2 or 3 other choices.

Otherwise your check list looks like the way to proceed.  We always love 
to hear back what you find.

I have seen some very bad things happen from this circuit that have nothing to do with ground faults. The same for AFCI or my guaranteed income source from grid-tie inverters.
