W winnie Senior Member Location Springfield, MA, USA Occupation Electric motor research Mar 28, 2008 #2 I don't see a code issue with using a 6mA GFCI where 30mA GFPE is required, but you may have a design issue with nuisance tripping. Equipment is permitted a certain amount of leakage, and _capacitive_ coupling to ground is unavoidable. -Jon
