I have an off-grid cabin which I supply electric power via a 6500 watt generator. I have a 10ga wire w/gnd going into the cabin and it goes to a strip center which have plugs to other strip centers. When I have all the appliances off and the strip centers on, and try to plug into the generator (after it has had time to warm up), it trips the GFCI socket. All I can figure is that there's some kind of capacitance inside the strip centers that causes a sharp current draw, initially, enough to make the GFCI socket think there's a short or ground. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?
