I installed (3) 20 amp duplex receptacles using 12/2 wg romex on its own 20 amp breaker/circuit in my wood shop with the first one being GFI. The problem I am having is that the GFI always trips when I turn the breaker on. I want to stress that there is NO shorts in any of the connected outlets. The panel is a 100 amp sub panel connected to the main 200 amp panel which is grounded to an outside ground rod and also to the cold water pipe. When I removed the GFI and installed another 20 amp duplex receptacle everything worked OK and the 20 amp panel breaker did not pop. How can I stop the GFI from tripping if I reinstall it? Thanks for your help.
