I left a 5500W stainless element in my occasional beer-stone acid bath and forgot it overnight. Now it trips the GFCI every time I gets power.
I'm getting 1-3 MOhm resistance between the leads and the threads, which is just enough to trip the GFCI every time. (20-60 mA leakage)
Anybody successfully baked an element dry in the oven or is this guy toast? I ASSume it's just moisture but maybe there's some other failure I'm not imagining.
I would just pulse dry-fire it w/out the ground, but that just sounds like a steam-bomb waiting to ruin my day.
