Depends on the breaker. If the load at the outlets is unknown then the standard rules of 80% apply.
You can only load a circuit 80% of it's maximum value. For instance, if you're connecting your GFCI outlets to a 15 amp breaker you can only have a maximum of 12 outlets.
If it's a 20 Amp breaker then you're allowed up to 16 outlets and so on.
In the US, you are limited to 13 receptacles on a 20 amp circuit and 10 receptacles on a 15 amp circuit in commercial or industrial installations. Any or all of these can be gfci-protected. You can install one gfci, the first one from the panel, and protect any or all the others from that one.
its an overload on the circuit breaker the 3 outlets are on.. many times groups of outlets are on different circuit breakers.. even though they are in the same room... especially if some are on a gfi outlet
There is no limit as to the amount of circuits you can have in a garage. If you mean how many devices on a 15 amp single circuit breaker then the answer is 12. Be sure to total in light fixture outlets and switch boxes.
Don't know what you mean by back wire, but most GFCI outlets have a circuit to attach additional outlets that will be protected by the GFCI. Keep total load in minds.
There are tow places to put a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. There is a GFCI breaker which would be installed in a breaker box and a GFCI outlet that can be installed anywhere. Most GFCI outlets allow you to connect regular outlets to the GFCI and those outlets will also be protected.
A 30 amp breaker is usually used for a dedicated 30 amp device. Ordinary 15 amp receptacles can not be connected to a breaker of higher trip capacity than the rating of the receptacle. The wire size for a 30 amp breaker is #10 AWG.
It's possible that the GFI outlet was overloaded by the electric heater, causing it to shut off power to prevent a potential hazard. The circuit breaker may not have tripped because it was on a different circuit from the GFI outlet. It's important to have a licensed electrician inspect the outlet and wiring to ensure safety.
Yes but the breaker would be at your electrical panel, they do not have a breaker connected to the garbage disposal but they do have a reset button on the bottom of the garbage disposal. Most modern homes also have a GFI outlet linked to the garbage disposal. If your disposal is tripping breakers or GFI outlets I would consider that something is very wrong with your disposal, or you installed one with to much power!
If you're using a GFCI breaker then the entire circuit will be protected by just the breaker alone. Every receptacle, switch, etc on that breaker will utilise the GFCI protection. You may have problems with it tripping if you plug in a motor (vacuum, etc) on the circuit.

Installing a 30A 240V GFI breaker for a dryer should be fine as long as the wiring and dryer itself are compatible with the breaker. The GFI breaker is designed to protect against electrical faults and should not be affected by the cycles of the dryer. Make sure to follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure proper functioning.
Your GFI may not reset due to a faulty GFI outlet, a tripped circuit breaker, a ground fault in the wiring, or a connected device causing the fault.
That's no problem.
To wire a GFI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) breaker, first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the hot wire to the breaker's terminal, the neutral wire to the neutral bar, and the ground wire to the ground bar. Finally, attach the breaker to the panel and turn the power back on.
A tripped circuit is typically identified by a switch in the electrical panel that is in the "off" position, or a fuse that is visibly blown. You can reset a tripped circuit by flipping the switch back on or replacing the blown fuse. Make sure to investigate the cause of the trip before resetting to prevent any potential hazards.
If you never plug anything into them, there is no limit. If the total current drawn from all outlets exceeds 20 amps, the breaker will trip.
Your GFI plug may not be working due to a tripped circuit, a faulty GFI outlet, or a wiring issue. Check the circuit breaker, reset the GFI outlet, and inspect the wiring to troubleshoot the problem. If the issue persists, consult a professional electrician for further assistance.
When wiring a house, GFI plugs are strategically placed in areas that can be tripped by water. For example: in bathrooms, in garages, etc. There are certain areas that do not require GFI plugs. A refrigerator is one device that is usually on its own breaker and does not require a GFI plug. My recommendation is to locate where the refrigerator is. If it is in the house remove it and replace it with a non GFI plug.
