In 2020 we had a revision on the internal guts of the docks a while back and they now have a bit of a sensitive GFCI, for good reason though,Nuisance tripping can sometimes be caused by marginal leakage between neutral and ground within the GFCI protected circuit. This marginal leakage is not enough to cause a shock hazard but may be enough to trip a GFCI when inverter power is present. This marginal leakage is often caused by surge suppression circuitry in some types of electronic equipment that may be connected to the circuit. This surge suppression circuitry sometimes includes capacitors between hot and ground and between neutral and ground. On pure sine, or plugged into a wall outlet, these capacitors will not couple enough energy to ground to trip a GFCI. But with inverter power, the capacitors couple more energy due to the harmonics contained in the waveform, and this can be enough to trip a GFCI.”
The solution to this is either, determine which device is causing the trip and substitute it (with an alternate model) or replace the PowerDock with a TSW model.
