How do I properly wire GFCI outlets in parallel?
WEB11. This is the correct behavior. You only need 1 GFCI outlet per circuit (assuming it's at the beginning of the line and the rest of the outlets are loads). They are correctly wired in parallel - if they were in series, you wouldn't get the correct voltage at the other outlets when there is any type of load present.
How do I wire a switch to control a GFCI Receptacle?
WEB7. If power is going to the switch first, you'll place the hot conductor on one screw of the switch, with the conductor on the other screw going to the hot (generally copper colored) screw of the GFCI on the line side. The neutrals in the switch box will be wire nutted together, with the neutral conductor leading to the receptacle box going to ...
When to use holes instead of side terminals to wire an outlet

Adding GFCI to a 240v outlet - Home Improvement Stack Exchange
WEB2) Replace the outlet with a "GFCI Spa disconnect", and move the outlet slightly so that it's powered by the spa disconnect. It's rare to find a spa disconnect that comes with a 30 Amp breaker though. Most are larger. Because you must not discard your pre-existing 30A breaker in the main panel, it would be safe to use a 60A GFCI Spa Disconnect.

Can I install a GFCI outlet downstream of another GFCI outlet?
WEBAug 31, 2016 · The downstream GFCI (receptacle) may perform an internal self-test when energized, which the upstream GFCI (breaker) detects as a fault. I have experienced this myself. In my barn I had a circuit with two GFCI receptacles daisy-chained. The first (upstream) GFCI would trip about 1 or 2 seconds after the circuit was energized.
