... SPEAKING of which... the GFCI's in my manufactured Clayton home have fuses that are too low for outdoor electric tools, like my leaf blower, and my pressure washer. Can I just replace those with higher wattage ones, like some of the other fuses in my home? (The laundry rooms fuse is MUCH higher, and is where we plug the outdoor tools into when we use them, bu tit would be MUCH easier to just use the outdoor plugs.) Yes/No. I'm guessing the breaker is a 15amp breaker, perhaps you could increase it to a 20 amp breaker, if the wiring used can support that. GFCIs are at the outlet, they're intended to be a breaker that trips if it detects a ground fault. Closer to the source, faster reaction time the breaker in the electrical panel. My knowledge of electrical code is fairly minimal, so I have no idea if it's simple as just replacing the breaker. -S |
