Have a second breaker that you can switch to if you have the first to go down and when you to get the alarm text you can just swap plugs to eliminate the problem or run your back up off the second circuit.

Thanks Don and others for your responses.

Unfortunately it's up to the school if they will put in a GFIC breaker. It was the best I could do at the time I set up the system. They claim they have no money.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
