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 immediately. The hot tub tech came out, unplugged everything and it still tripped. He determined the ground and neutral were swapped.
The electrician figured both breakers would pop if that were the case and thinks the breaker is bad. I’m picking a new one up today. Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas on these boards.
The connection to the board from the panel is an annoying design, with the trap door, and the electrician used stranded wire, higher gauge than necessary. Could the insert of the 2 hots and the neutral be inadequate causing the trip? When I swapped the lines it is clear that the stranded wires are engaged with the trap door design, but not seated as tightly as the 20 amp circuit which has 10 gauge wire instead of the 8 gauge wire.
