[QUOTE="dilogdp, post: 1532460, member: 34688"] I recently purchased a PARMAK Mark 8 120v 30-mile fence energizer. It immediately trips the GFIC breaker. After some troubleshooting I called them up and spoke to a technical guy. He told me "they are not meant to be connected to GFIC." He also suggested that "by design" no energizer should work with GFIC. Surprising IMO, since outside receptacle and most barn areas would require GFIC. I won't consider the option of replacing the GFIC. I prefer not to go with 12v battery or solar, if possible. Has anyone used a different make? In the meantime, I have the wife picking up one at Tractor Supply and ordered a 12v. [/QUOTE]
