Rain creating havoc

[joneslights]

Well, we are sitting under a rain storm that looks like it is going to stick around for a few days. I am currently NOT running shows because GFI's keep blowing.

What does everyone else to to keep this problem down to a minimum?

I have some mini trees that sometimes will work and sometimes not. (next year I am thinking of enclosing them in plexiglass (cords and all). I also have some other channels that don't want to stay on in the rain/snow/sunshine, ok just kidding about the sunshine, but....

Currently I have only the offending channels and all the minis off and I have HU with all lights on. Hey, I put all this time into putting lights out I AM GOING to shine them.

Yeah, read that, thanks.

That might explain why the lights on the roof (laying on the roof) are not tripping the GFIs.

Same happens to me, we had some rain and the show kept tripping my gfi.

The previous day, I went around making sure all my plugs are taped, and off the ground at least a half inch. What a nightmare, and I only have 16 channels, and im complaining.

So when my gfi blew, I decided to test each channel, nothing blew, channels 1-16 on, no problems, then I can turn on all the channels fine, by fading them on, if I try to go form off to on, then it trips. So I figured my gfc was being oversensitive, so I unplugged the gfc and plugged it in right to the wall (I have a removable gfc) I was stumped as to why it would not trip with only one channel on at a time.

The next dry day I put my gfi back and no problems, so its the rain for sure causing the problem.

My show only takes 10 amps max, 2200 mini lights and 25 c9's - so I cant possibly be overloading it.
