Hi, just finished installing my new Aquarite system. I wired it for 240 and there is nothing. No lights, display, etc. I have the jumper between 2 & 3 and tested 120v on legs 1 & 4. Fuse is not blown. So, I figured I would wire to 120v to see what would happen. Hooked jumpers to 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 and reworked the breaker. Works fine. System is energized and generating. Is there something I'm missing as to why this will not work with 240? Thanks in advance!
Aquarite will not run on 240. 120 is fine

I found it. There is a problem with the GFCI breaker. Testing the individual circuits, I have 120v on each. Testing them together, there is 0. Going to get another breaker and all should be good. I'll update to help anyone else.

Yes, it is a 240 box that I have my 240 pump, etc. wired into also. Took the breaker to work with me. Definitely defective. It was new, but looks like a defect. One of the contact tabs looks like it is manufactured incorrectly and when testing it, it is acting as a double throw single breaker. Unreal. I think this is the first breaker I've seen fail like this.

It was a Murray GFCB215. In Murray's defense however, it was purchased on eBay as a new one. Seriously doubt that. Has to be a poor renewed one.
