Looks like my mat triggers some of GFI protected sockets. Is it normal?

Ereada® mats are equipped with an automatic grounding (EMF reduction) function.

They include a специаль layer with charcoal fiber and internal wiring designed to absorb electromagnetic waves and safely transfer them through the controller to the grounding pin of the wall outlet.

In some cases, this function may interact with GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) outlets. These outlets are designed to detect even very small electrical imbalances (as low as 5 mA) and may interpret the grounding activity of the mat as a fault. As a result, the GFI outlet may trip and shut off power.

Because GFI outlets are more sensitive than standard circuit breakers, a mat that works perfectly with a regular grounded outlet may not function properly with certain GFI-protected sockets.

Our testing has shown that compatibility depends on the specific brand and sensitivity of the GFI outlet. For example, outlets with red and black reset buttons tend to work well with the mat, while some white-button models are more likely to trip.
