    Pump trips circuit breaker after hours of running

    I’ll have to swap the breaker in a few days after this cold snap. I think my wife would kill me if I turned off power to the house right now lol. I’ll make sure to come back with the results though. How would I determine a short to ground between the breaker and pump vs a short to ground issue...

Amperage measured with Klein CL220 Temps measured with Klein Infrared Thermometer. All measurements...

    Pump trips circuit breaker after hours of running

    I can take pictures later today, but 10 amp pump pulling 10 amps measured via clamp. Both electricians agreed that the CB is operating properly and recommended against changing saying, “I’ll happily take your money, but the breaker is working properly and changing it won’t do anything.” 15...

    Pump trips circuit breaker after hours of running

    Hey everyone, I’m running out of ideas here. I’ve had two electricians come out and verify everything is working fine on the electrical side. It pulls the correct amperage, it never trips the GFCI outlet, it trips after/while raining and if it’s dry. I have a Doheny pump that’s maybe a month...
