    New install of caldera reunion, sub panel 30 amp trips immediately

    Tried all of the above, still trips immediately. I also did a continuity test to make sure neutral and ground were labeled correctly, and they are. Thank you for your help today, I’m out of ideas, I got the new breaker, and will see what the electrician says tomorrow.

    New install of caldera reunion, sub panel 30 amp trips immediately

    Can I twist the strands enough to get a nice tight fit into the connector? Could I possibly make a tail with the smaller wire just to test it to see if it fixes the problem?

    New install of caldera reunion, sub panel 30 amp trips immediately

    Yes because the neutral from the 30 amp breaker is 8 gauge, where the capped one from the 20 amp is 12 or 10 gauge. (Definitely smaller gauge wire ).

    New install of caldera reunion, sub panel 30 amp trips immediately

    So the 20amp circuit also has a neutral coming out, but it is capped at the tub, because it was not needed. The electrician did not realize the 20. Amp only used the 2 hot leads. So the ground and the neutral are labeled with the corresponding tape, and he did check the continuity the night he...

    And for what it is worth and red led is solid for about 1 second when the breaker is turned on and trips.

    The wiring appears correct according to the panel instructions for the permanent placement instructions. Those are the same in the manual for the spa.

    New install of caldera reunion, sub panel 30 amp trips immediately

    All the wire is black, and the electrician wrapped tape around the wires before snaking them through the underground conduit. I opened the panel and the ground is wrapped in green, and the neutral is wrapped in white tape. Could one of the wires being stripped open at some point during the...

    New install of caldera reunion, sub panel 30 amp trips immediately

    As stated, we just purchased a new hot tub. I had an electrician run the wires, once everything was set up, the 30 amp breaker pops immediately. The sub panel is split to a 30 amp and a 20 amp. The 20 amp stays on fine. The 30 amp has a neutral, and every time you turn it on, it trips...

    recommended brands

    we are looking into getting a hot tub, but the variety is almost as vast as mattresses. What is a brand, or a feature that is considered a must? we checked out a bullfrog dealer, but the prices were around 40k for an 8 person tub. Are there other brands that compare?
