I am 95% done with my E-Brewery. I tested the system and everything works great except for one thing that concerns me. When I hit the test button on the GFCI it does not trip the breaker. Here is what I have.
40A breaker in my main panel running 6/2 (2-120V hots and ground) wire going to a range/dryer plug. I then ran 8/2 wire and 3 prong range plug to a spa disconnect. Connected two hots to the line lugs in disconnect, and ground to ground bar. Then ran the two load wires out of the breaker and ground to ground bar. There is no neutral as this is only 240V. I ran the neutral pigtail from breaker to the neutral bar but their is nothing attached to it.
I have been hearing different answers to this. Some say you need the neutral for the test button to work properly, others say it should test properly without a neutral attached. I just want to make sure it is working properly.
p.s. thanks to everyone who has posted some great info on this site, it has helped me a lot with this project.
