Scenario:
Intermatic (motor-driven clock) timer fed from GFCI into 12VAC
lawn-lighting transformer
When timer reaches turn-on point it appears that voltage drops enough
that timer stops turning, so lights don't turn on.
Manually "pushing" timer thru turn-on point, lights come on just fine,
with transformer "thumping" from surge, output voltage is correct.
Timer runs just fine on another outlet
Is it conceivable that GFCI is resistive unless loaded heavily?
How would you test?
