that's what i was worried about - damaging the GFI's
circuitry. it would be pretty annoying if 
i did destroy it, because it took 3 months to get the
electrician out to install it, so it would 
mean i'd be without power for 3 months before it gets
fixed...

let's just say, my little coil will never trip the breakers.
