Problems with PA power-up in out door applications

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

Our 4 pc.acoustic group play many gigs out of doors much of the time. Within the past year we have noticed unusual phenomena of tripping the house breaker when powering up our PA using outdoor AC outlets. Our small rig is housed in a 12 rack space rolling unit and consists of a Mackie 1604 VLZ pro, QSC 900 amp, 2 RNC compressors, and a Lexicon reverb/delay. All this is connected via a Furman clone, 15 amp power conditioner which powers everything up at once. The unusual thing is that when running our power to an indoor outlet there's never a problem. The outdoor AC trip's the breaker 100% of the time. Any opinions would be welcome.
