Ok, so to keep to code, we have a GFCI outlet for most of our towers. One
of them tripped last night, causing me to have to put on some 80 miles just
to push a button (yes, it could have been much worse).
Is there anything to prevent stupid outages like this from happening without
violating co
You have to have GFCI outlets indoors? I've never heard of that
regulation before.
A few thoughts come to mind:
* Battery backup with 2 or so hours of run time along with a remote page
for a power outage. Doesn't prevent you from having to dispatch but it
keeps you from having an outage.

We don't use them at towers, but I have here at home auto resetting GFCI
outlets for my
Saltwater reef tank. Got them from Home Depot.. They reset automatically
after a few mins..

I don't think you understand. A GFCI outlet is a "mechanical" device. You
can't reboot it.

Just replace it. It's probably failing. They're a pain when they start failing
but when you get a good one they're fine.

GFCIs are for quick blows for things like dropping something in
water. I still don't understand why it would be required in a tower
building.
I agree, there's fuse panel, why the heck is a GFCI needed too a
To add to the anecdotal evidence against cheap GFCI outlets, I had to
remove one in a building when spontaneous trips started occurring randomly
(e.g. once every couple weeks) after an adjacent building received a direct
lightening strike.
For that matter, the GFCI contributed nothing to lightenin
I thought GFCI's were to protect circuits from moisture mainly, AFAIK they
do not provide any type of protection for devices other than cutting the
circuit if it senses a ground fault.

This is true. The GFCI outlet happened to already be in the building when
I installed equipment. It turns out the GFCI outlet itself could have
benefited from lightening isolation.

You'll need a solar powered battery pack if totally remote but instead of a
