I installed a GFI circuit breaker in my breaker box. I used it to feed an x-10 controlled outlet. The GFI trips as soon as I turn on the breaker. I ran tests, other GFI,s another x-10 controlled outlet, and am convinced that the leakage current in the x-10 outlet causes the GFI breaker to trip. Would other brands (levitron) have lower leakage current? The outlet I used was made by X-10 PRO.
