I work on swimming pools. I found a 110v pool and Spa light combination without GFCI protection on it. Both lights work without a GFCI outlet. I Installed a ground fault circuit interrupter and it immediately popped.
The white neutral load wire from the GFCI goes to a junction box, pigtails the two light cords commons.
The hot line voltage goes to the Brass screw on the GFCI line Side and then a black wire comes from the load side of the GFCI brass screw over to the switch (one wire) on a double toggle switch.
a black wire comes off of each connection on the double toggle switch up to the junction box again and ties into each lamp cord.
I tried two different gfci, I've tried two different switches and even eliminated the double toggle switch entirely and the problem continues tripping.
I put a milliamp voltmeter between lamps ground wire and ground and saw nothing, I also used a floating stray voltage tester near the lamps inside the pool in the water. And saw nothing.
The only thing I can even guess is that maybe if there's another circuit tied into the incoming line voltage such as a garden light or an outlet that is faulty anybody have any opinions?
Thank you
