Which outcome occurs when ground fault interrupter (GFI) trips frequently in coastal electrical distribution systems?

💡 Explanation

Elevated stray capacitance causes increased leakage current, triggering the GFI's differential current sensor and resulting in it tripping, because the GFI detects an imbalance. Therefore, stray capacitance to earth causes over-sensitivity rather than harmonic issues within the electrical system.
