I wired a switch for basement fluorescent lights to be protected by a GFCI. But intermittently, when the switch is turned on, it trips the GFCI. It only happens right at the point that the switch is first turned on, but it doesn't happen every time. I checked all the connections and everything seems to be fine. These are 4 ft. 2-lamp T12 and T8 fixtures. Is there some surge when the ballasts first start up that might be tripping the GFCI on occasion?
Many thanks for any help.
