Keep your plugs up off the ground, I use a little dowel or anything just to keep them off the ground. Are they are GFI'S?? If not don't tell Jeff! If it's not raining, make sure your plugs are up off the ground and run the show. I can't say for sure about if it's just a drizzle, I'm sure someone will answer that part.

Jim Hans Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Run the show. If the GFCI pops then you know you've got a sort somewhere. I try to keep all my connections off the ground so that they don't sit in standing water (very bad!). I run rain or shine. Rain shouldn't hurt you. If your GFCI keeps popping then shut it down until you can find the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddH Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 ok, an nothing is in standing water but there are a few connections that are in the grass area which has been rained on all day. I also have them all plugged into a power central station that has its own gfi and built in breaker fuse so I should be good then. man sure sucks tho to have this weather...oh well , thanks for the confirmations!Shfr you going to come?

miaskiewicz christian Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Here in North-East France it's often raining in fall and winter so to avoid electrical problems I protect all the plugs connections (plastic bags wrapped around and zip ties mostly) and have no problems.Try to run your show.
