GFCI tripped. The stuff plugged into the GFCI on the left still had power. The daisy-chained outlet on the right was dead. I don't understand. I thought that if the GFCI tripped, it would deprive both of power. (These were installed by a licensed electrician so I trust that the wiring is correct.)9mo ⋅ azemona ⋅ r/electrical
