Tripping gfi

[Bigrob]

Working on gfi in a quad box. Two gfi master has power to the line side second one fed from the load side of the first one to the line of the second one. I plug in two fans one in to each outlet, everything works fine. Plug in 6 led lights and it trips the gfi. ? Am I missing something? Weird part is the led’s worked before the gifs were changed out. Checked the wiring and all the wiring is correct. Any help would be appreciated thanks rob

Why are they wired like that? Makes no sense to me.

You're asking for double trouble feeding a GFCI off the load side of another GFCI. I would start by removing the 2nd GFCI. All loads would run off the load side of the GFCI. If you still have tripping, then start removing loads until you find what is causing the trip.

Why were the gfi’s changed out? The old ones may have been defective, and old enough, to not self test. The new ones now work, and probably a current leakage in the LED’s causing the trips. Have you tried the LED’s in a different gfi receptacle?

Who wires gfis like that ? I would separate the gfis , meaning they could be on the same circuit but not connected on load side .

Who wires gfis like that ?

Someone who doesn't understand line/load
