How to test double pole 240v 30amp GFCI breaker for correct GFCI functionality

[mcline]

Hi


I installed a double pole 240v 30amp GFCI breaker for a 3 wire pool heater with the breaker's white piggy tail connected to box neutral, load ground to box's ground and the breaker's load neutral disconnected. I wired the breaker to a L6-30 outlet.


Before using it in the pool heater, I would like to test the outlet for GFCI functionality. I have not been able to find a 240v gcfi tester. All of them are for 120v circuits. It's incredible.


How can I test it to make sure I wired it correctly and everything works as planned?


Thanks
