That is common if you have a Trace inverter and you are plugging into a house circuit with a GFI breaker/outlet.

The Trace inverter circuit makes it look like there is a ground for a split second, but enough to trip the GFI circuit.

If you have that combination, there are some workarounds that folks have done.

If that is not the case, we need to explore the problems further.
