My recently repaired ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT was working fine on normal unprotected circuits, but then I move the computer to my recently renovated shop (detached garage) Where code has required I use these gfci receptacles.
Anyways when I try to fire up my rebuilt workstation, it trips the gfci. I thought bad cord or something wrong. I switched out cord with a new cord, tripped again. I tried a different circuit with a matching GFCI recep, tripped that one too. But then I went outside which has a weather-resistant gfci which is a different brand, didn't trip. Yes I did push the test button to make sure it works.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the power supply, I've google it and it seems like it's a common problem for enermax PSU because of it's active PFC.
Solutions?
EDIT: also I am in the market for an UPS Battery Backup, so that could be a solution but I don't know what to buy that could stop this gfci tripping.
