Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner

I do not plug anything into it

it faults when I power on the other devices

@califortini

Other devices?

.

1.5Q Same as your link

.

@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

@califortini

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.

How to wire a GFCI outlet and GFCI protect other outlets

.

Oh, now I get it.

GFCI outlets do go bad, but it could also be equipment with a leaky capacitor to ground or a reactive load, which is most likely with bigger motors and amps.

If you find the problem is only your amp, I’d suspect swapping a GFCI won’t help.

Sometimes these trips happen intermittently, so hard to diagnose fully. Of course another alternative is to see if you can trigger any other outlet.  Maybe take the suspect piece of gear to your kitchen counter and see if you can trigger one of those outlets.
