Hot tub GFCI problem?
I have a 50 amp 220 breaker in the house, I have a 30 amp and a 20 amp gfci breaker outside for my hot tub. Its been working fine but now the 30 amp gcfi trips when ever both are turned on. I tried replacing the breaker but that did not fix the problem. As soon as both are turned on its always the 30 amp gfci that trips. But if you just turn 1 of the breakers on that breaker will run fine. The 30 amp does the heat and the 20 amp does the jets. Any ideas on what to do?
i have tried a regualr breaker and it id not trip, so whats the fix for a ground fault?
im sorry i missread, so i guess i have a problem with the wiring, because it does not trip when a regualr breaker is used so is there a way to find out if its in the wire from the disconect to the hot tub or if its the line from the main panel to the disconnect?
again i red again i you state that i have a problem with a ground fault how do i fix that
It is possible that the wire that feeds the disconnect has a ground fault in it causing both GFCI's to trip out at the same time. Both legs so to speak to the unit even though it should trip at the 30 amp breaker if it is a double pole breaker. If they are both 120 volt then this could be your problem.
I would suggest that you make sure everything is dry and tight. Check it all out to make sure there is no moisture any where in the disconnect and the hot tub any where that may cause them to trip out. GFCI's are very sensitive to moisture.
The next thing to do would be to try them on regular breakers to see if they trip out (not to be used permanently mind you) If they do trip then you know you have a problem with the wiring if they do not you have a ground fault (not a short) that has to be checked and repaired.
Good Luck
