From the Levitron GFCI spec sheet:
“Improved immunity to high-frequency noise reduces nuisance tripping”
&
“Advanced electronics design provides superior resistance to electrical surges and over-voltages”
[FONT=Arial][size=2]It sounds like refrigerators and GFCI circuits have both gotten better at not tripping during high impedence start-up surges.
