I also have the ECLI breaker, but have not installed it yet - I started a total
rewire of the Enterprise’s AC circuits and expect to be finished by the Spring.
The first outlet in the series will be GFCI.
I’ve run all the wires, installed new outlets and just need to install the
panel with the inverter/shore power switch. The torn skin on my knuckles and
the bruises have all healed. so I can’t wait to get going again. Launch in 5
months!
Want to see the finished product? Come to the 2015 Northeast C&C Rendezvous :-)
All the best,
