November 24, 201312 yr RAIDMAX RX-1000AE trips the GFCI wall socket immediately when started (connected to Supermicro X7SBE mobo with no other loads). The effect is not intermittent, it does it every time. When plugged into regular (non-GFCI) wall socket, the RAIDMAX works fine. The GFCI socket itself appears not to blame - exactly same setup, on the same GFCI socket, with PSU SeaSonic M12II 850 SS-850AM works fine. RAIDMAX is 1000 watts and Seasonic is smaller 850 watts, but I'm sure that this is not the reason, I run 8 amps power drill via this socket with no problems. The RAIDMAX goes into test server, real server is powered by Seasonic, so I'm not worried too much about it. I'm just curious if someone has seen a PSU tripping GFCI socket and what might be the reason.
November 24, 201312 yr Author Heh... just tested the RAIDMAX on a different GFCI socket - no tripping, works just fine. So, it's just this particular PSU doesn't like that particular GFCI socket. Or the other way around. Things have minds and souls of their own these days. Or maybe just souls.
