    Fix False GFCI Tripping in 240V AC Circuit

    That's a good point of trying a different device in place of the lights. I'll give that a try. I did lower the wattage bulb significantly and it seems to be holding. But I do like your idea of testing a different load. The only thing I can think of with the motor being more inductive is...

    Fix False GFCI Tripping in 240V AC Circuit

    Thanks all for the feedback. The breaker is a 240 volt GFCI. These types of breakers are intended for motors, etc. near wet areas. In a spa, some devices use the 120 volt circuit for basic items. The breaker is designed to check for zero balance current flow in all legs. Thus, a significant...

    Fix False GFCI Tripping in 240V AC Circuit

    I'm extremely certain all wiring is good. All fresh wiring from the main box to a new GFCI box and all new wiring in fresh PVC cable. The wiring is connected to a spa where the majority of the circuits are 240 volt. However, there are other 120 volt circuits within the cabinet which are...

    Fix False GFCI Tripping in 240V AC Circuit

    Hello, I have installed a 240 Volt AC circuit with neutral. I am having false tripping on the GFCI breaker due to the installation of a set of 75 watt lights (on one of the hot legs and neutral for 120 volts). When I turn on the lights, the GFCI will sometimes trip I believe due to the...
