When I turn on my pool lights, after about 15 minutes a ground fault plug next to my Jandy Aqualink panel trips.
I believe the wiring goes: Breaker ---> GFI outlet -----> Pool light relay ----> pool lights (2)
...........................................................|
............................................................---> Spa light relay ----> spa light (1)
(I had to put the dots in to make the drawing look right because spaces get stripped out)
I can turn on just the spa light and it stays on forever. If I turn on the pool lights, the GFI outlet trips after 15-20 minutes.
Since it was an easy and cheap test to try, I replaced the GFI outlet. This had no effect.
Looks like one of my pool lights is bad, but why does it take 15 minutes for the GFI to trip?
I'm not an electrician, but I'm pretty handy with electrical repairs. Is a pool light replacement something I can handle?
