Hello,
I am building a new panel with a new 60 GFI sub panel. Here is the GFI I purchased.
My wiring is close enough to this for diagnostics.
I wired up the panel and turned on the home depot GFI. Then I turned on my key and POP. GFI blows. Power runs into brewery panel to a main contactor. The contactor is powered from L1 through a key and to the contactor coil. With neutral on the other side.
I disconnected everything in the brewery panel but the contractor, turned on GFI, then put power to contactor coil from L2 or L1 and POP goes GFI.
I then removed wires in GFI to brewery panel. I wired into the GFI panel a standard house outlet and plugged in a light. As soon as I twisted in the bulb the GFI pops.
Do I have a bad GFI or can this GFI not handle a 120 load on this 240v GFI?
Thank you for the help,
Craig

I am not wiring cleaning up the wiring until I know I'm done with it.

The purple wire in A1 and 1 is the wire going to the key and returning to the contactor coil.
