I went outside today to test my water and noticed the breaker had tripped at the sub panel. My last test was 2 days before and I haven’t used it since then so I don’t have any way to know when it tripped exactly. Flipped it back on and it’s working fine.
The outside temperature has been really high in the last few days (over 110F the last two days), and the sub panel is on a south facing wall (so it sits in the full sun all day long). Due to the outside temperature it’s very unlikely that the heater was needed at all, so I don’t think that the hot tub really pulled too much current to cause the breaker to trip.
I’ve had the tub for over a year with no issues, and this is the first time it been this hot since I’ve had it. Anyone else ever have a breaker trip when it gets super hot outside?
