Do you mean "trip" rather than trap? If not could you explain what this means?

Sorry, yeah, trip. Park the Smart Meter too close the GFCI and it induces enough current to cause it to fail-safe, breaking the circuit.

Assume they mean trip. I have never heard of the term trap used for GFCI's.

GFCIs go by a different name in the UK (RCD - Residual Current Device), so I wondered if this was a US specific electrical term I'd not heard of.
