Hey all. Quick question for anybody with spa panel wiring experience. I've searched the forums but I can't find a solution for my problem.
My problem is that I got my spa panel wired up but when I plug it in, it trips instantly.
Here's some background.
I ran 10/3 wire from my main panel to garage. In my main panel I installed a 30A non gfci breaker. 2 hot legs to the breaker. Neutral and ground attached to the grounding bus.
Wired up to a 14-30 Nema receptacle.
Tested outlet with multi meter. Each hot to ground gives me 120v. Each hot to neutral gives me 120. Hot to hot gives me 240. Neutral to ground gives me 0. I believe that Is what I should be getting.
I wired up the spa panel according to the PJ diagram for 4 wire.
When I plug in the spa panel the breaker trips instantly.
I unplugged all of the load wires from the gfci and plugged in again. Still trips. So this leads me to believe that the problem is on the line side of the spa panel. I feel like I have the line side wired correctly though.
Any suggestions?
