Since electric grounding is always a hot topic here I was a bit hesitant to ask but I have a GFCI problem that has my electrician stumped (and me but that doesnt take much). Kinda long winded read, sorry.
Over the last year we have upgraded the entire service to our old farm house from the meter base to 99% of the wiring throughout the house and barns. All work preformed by same licensed electrician. Problem we are having is we have GFCI receptacles (2) in the kitchen and bathroom. They have never tripped while in use but will be found tripped while not being used. This could be once a week or once a month, never twice in a given day, never both at the same time. They are on separate circuits and are the lone load on those circuits. Electrician has preformed whatever testing they would do and had another guy come out and both are scratching their heads. They can find no faults or fault currents and have even rerun the wiring from the panel to those receptacles. We have been keeping a log of sorts trying to make rhyme or reason out of it such as weather, what's being used etc but nothing so far is sticking out. Anyone care to add some direction to our search?
Thanks in advance!!
