Hello folks, another circuit breaker trip posting. Hopefully the experts out here aren't tired of them yet.
Sweetwater Bahia (2003). Has run pretty flawlessly for seven years, except for a new circ pump and thermostat.
Today the 50 amp GFCI breaker at the fuse box was tripped. I shutdown the outside cutoff switch and then recycled the breaker at the fuse box. When I turned the cutoff switch back on the GFCI breaker trips pretty much immediately.
I've seen threads here that discuss ozonators, heaters and pumps causing breakers to trip, but I'm not sure these types of trips are as immediate as mine. My tub generally goes through about ten seconds of "boot-up" before the pumps and heater kick on. The breaker is tripping quite a bit before that.
Any thoughts on potential causes for such a quick trip? I plan on doing some basic unplugging of components later this afternoon to see if the trip may be caused by a bad component.
Thanks in advance for your expertise.
