To whom it may concern:
I have several jobs where we use gfci breakers for pool equipment. The problem I am having is that the breakers are tripping. They are very hot to touch and only drawing 13-14 amps on a 20 amp breaker.
The solutions I tried are:
1. changed breaker-same problem
2. seperated breakers in panel-fixed some not all
3. Increased size of wire to #10 - didn't seem to help
The job is in Las Vegas and it is very hot here, the breakers were installed last fall and were fine until now. The panel is flush mount in a storage room next to the equipment room. I think the problem is the air temp in the room is too high. Please reply with your thoughts.
Thanks,
Phil
