A:  Yes it will work, yet it's overkill. You don't need two GFCI outlets on one circuit. Then again, people have been killed stepping on a defective extension cord. Your good! Eric

A:  It wont cause a problem. I bought mine to supply power for a hot tub. Heater, pump, and blower didn't damage it or the outlet.

A:  Yes, it is UL listed.

A:  Not sure why but I can verify that is does work on 110 volt outlets. This turns any outlet into a gfci outlet.

A:  It has... 15 amp 125 volt written right on it !

A:  This plugs into an existing outlet. There is not any wire involved. You could by an extension cord if that is what you need.

A:  No long wire of ay length required

A:  The unit does not come with any wire, it is self contained.

A:  Yes, I power a 120 volt hot tub through it with no problems.

A:  YES the adapter is rated for up to 15 Amps/

A:  Yes, as I have done.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, a ground fault and a surge are two different things and protect items/people from different threats. The GFCI protects people from electrocution. The surge protector protects equipment from surges.

A:  Maybe. A good surge protector will trip your GFCI. Let me explain. A GFCI will trip if the HOT current does not equal the return NEUTRAL current. If the difference is more than 5mA, the GFCI will trip. This means current is leaking somewhere else (like in your body!). That’s why GFCI’s are used in moist places like the bathroom garage, and outside. But a good surge protector has filters in it that divert electrical noise to ground. This “diversion” might be enough to trip the GFCI. Surge protector filters need to divert noise to ground to save your unit (stereo, fridge, etc.) from power surges, lightning strikes, and other equipment’s noise. So I would suggest using a surge protector first and then plug the GFCI into the surge protector. Now you have a very nice filter and safety setup.

A:  Yes, and it works great.
