Ground fault indicators are a horror! They trigger at the slightest current
anomaly and become more and more sensitive as they wear out till the
slightest thing sets them off.

I once lived on some Friend's property where I was powered via their GFI and
it got to the point that I could not even turn on a shaver without
triggering it.

In a Tesla coil a GFI would go bonkers cutting out the power over and over
it would drive any coiler nuts.

Since joining this forum I've noticed that everyone is always looking
for a NON-GFI NST to power their coils.  Is this an absolute
must?  Why can't you use one with a GFI?
