Don't know who started this story but I've never had a problem with 
using a GFI  unit.How can it be a problem unless you've got a problem 
in the transformer? I can honestly say that the ground fault has only 
kicked on a few times (4-5 in many hours of use) and , if I remember 
correctly, my safety gap was set too tight.(?) I bought a few of 
these in 12 &15 kv form with the intent of pulling the protection out 
of them but it kind of looked like a pain so I simply tried them out 
as is and was pleased to see that they work.Not saying it will for 
everyone but whats it hurt to try?
