gfci on afci circuit tripping

I don't think you finished editing. :lol:

Control, why do you say it won't work? You won't be able to predict which GFCI would trip, but other than that it would work just fine.

YOU ARE A SENIOR MEMBER... Try to wire a gfci receptacle, from a gfci receptacle... :huh:
SORRY, I really wasn't trying to sound mean, or condescending. It just don't work, if you do it that way...:happysad:

senior member only refers to # of posts, doesn't mean I'm smart.

I don't ever remember wiring a GFCI receptacle from a GFCI receptacle, maybe I'm just too tired to think clearly tonight, but why does it not work? As I said I'm not smart but as long as current on black & white are the same GFCI shouldn't trip?

Last hot check I did it worked - wasn't what I wanted, and I changed it, but it worked...

Exactly WHAT doesn't work?

I see GFCI receptacles wired from GFCI receptacles all the time, both through (which is what I believe you are making reference to) and via the input terminals.

There is at least 1 very good reason for them to be "through" ... I use a short corded GFCI in plants when I connect test equipment. My corded GFCI is often connected to either a GFCI receptacle or GFCI breaker protected circuit.

While I've expected a problem when I press MY test button, I've not yet, probably between 100 and 1000 times, tripped the supplying protection.

CF, what "just don't work"?
