Why does the GFCI on my generator keep tripping?
If the GFCI receptacle trips, then a defective (“leaky”) electrical load has been detected. The generator should be turned off and the electrical load should be unplugged and replaced or serviced by qualified personnel.
Why does my generator keep turning off?
Oil levels that are too low may cause your generator to shut-off. The truth is that your generator will start but may cause permanent damage to the engine. Newer generator models, such as Generac, have a “low oil shutoff sensor” automatically shutting off your generator when oil levels are running low.

Why does my hot tub have a GFCI interrupter?
A GFCI—a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter—is a device used to protect your hot tub from unusual fluctuations or deviations in your power supply. Ground faults and short circuits occur when electricity takes a path the designers of the circuit didn’t intend.
When a GFCI detects an anomaly in the electrical supply, such as a ground fault or a short circuit, it interrupts the circuit and cuts off all electricity to your spa. When this interruption occurs, it’s often referred to as “tripping” the GFCI.
