Why would it reduce the nusciance tripping?

I may be wrong

but seem to have less nuiscence tripping with GFCI receptacle than with breaker

either because of accumulation of small leaks over length of wire run

or induction, capacitence, RFI, or other voodoo that I can't see but do believe in
 
The Midwest power pedestals are high quality. Whether the electrical components are -50F high quality is something to contact Midwest about. But I know of no portable cords that are rated for temps that cold, so I'm unclear how the pedestals could be used in those temps anyway.

They do have complete post/pedestal assemblies for direct burial, lighting is an option. These also have "loop feed" terminal blocks and individual breakers, so if you find a GFCI receptacle that can handle -50F, you can easily daisy chain several pedestals on one bigger circuit.

Thanks to those kind enough to offer feedback and advice. Sorry to those who were offended.

I don't think your questions offended anyone. You were tasked with a job for which you have no prior experience or training, and that's an unenviable position to be in. We see this more and more as companies attempt to save money in places where they have no business trying.
 
Split Wired Receptacle

Split Wired Receptacle

I know it is common to use one duplex for a shared neutral circuit by breaking the tab and making it split circuit but i believe this is against code. Most duplex receptacles are only rated for 125V. By split wiring it you increase the potential across the yoke to 208 or 240. I emailed Pass and Seymour about this and they confirmed that the device was only rated for 125 across the yoke. The device is not listed for more than 125V so it violates 110.3(B)
