I hope you pigtailed the neutrals at each outlet. (Or some other method to comply with 300.13(B))

Exactly what load caused the GFCIs to trip? And did you try to move the loads around from outlet to outlet?
 
roundhouse

roundhouse

In rail terminology, a turntable is a device used to turn railroad rolling stock. When steam locomotives were still in wide use, many railroads needed a way to turn the locomotives around for return trips as their controls were often not configured for extended periods of running in reverse and in many locomotives the top speed was lower in reverse motion. Turntables were also used to turn observation cars so that their windowed lounge ends faced toward the rear of the train.

Even these guys had to keep load and line straight :grin:
