These ground faults are nto always installed correctly either or at least not so they make sense to me...for example I have them in the bathrooms on two floors....well the one in the upstairs bath tripped (I don't know why)...but the outlets/lights were out in the downstairs bath. Worked on the fuse box etc...finally looked upstairs...that one was tripped. I reset it and all the lights/outlets worked....
