C-PAP keeps tripping GFI - HandsFree - 08-27-2018
Every time I plug my c-pap into the outlet in the forward birth on my 3700 the GFI trips. I tried plugging in other thing and it is fine. I even tried all of the other outlets on the boat and every time I plug in the c-pap it trips the GFI. I am using a single 30 amp shore power cord and was thinking about trying the 50 amp cord to see if that makes difference. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

I doubt switching to the 50a cord will change anything. your c-pap machine may be leaking a little current. Try plugging into a gfi outlet at home and see if it trips the fault breaker there.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Well I tried the 50 amp cord by using a splitter from two 30 amp outputs to my 50 amp line and it worked great. I was able to use my C-pap machine without an issue. Thanks for all who helped with their suggestions.
