Thanks everyone for your comments. I just received a new outlet and will look at installing it over the weekend. I’ll post results here, or any testing I end up doing to track it down. For the few questions above, I do not plug anything into it - it faults when I power on the other devices. this is a stock image of the back. Great (or not so great) to hear others experienced the same thing but able to fix.
Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner
Hello all. My Equitech GFCI plug on the back keeps popping when I turn on the switches Equitech switches. Am I overloading the unit or is there an issue with the GFCI plug. It worked for a while but was always super easy to trip. I only have my Amp, preamp, TV, and speakers plugged into it. Any help would be appreciated. I am in in San Francisco bay area, are there recommendations to any place I can take to to get it looked at? With it tripping so much would replacing the gfci plug with a new one help (wonder if the current one is worn out?). It is out of warranty and I do not have the box it came in to ship. Thanks!

@jea48 my bad the link has the incorrect image. I'll add mine. The top left is the receptacle that has the reset button. The only devices are the TV, 2 speakers, preamp and amp are all that are plugged into the 1.5Q. none of which are plugged into the gfci plug - those are all plugged into the regular outlets on the back |

Thanks for the additional information. Are the regular outlets still Hot, energized, when the GFCI outlet trips? IF not, that is because they are connected to the load side of the switch in the GFCI outlet. When the GFCI trips it opens the switch. Therein Kills power to the regular outlets. .
