Hi everyone!
I've been tryong to start the new brewhouse I recently purchased and everytime I try to put it on, I hear it click and the gfci trip.

Anyone have a clue where to start looking at?
One of my friend that do regulation for an electrician entrepreneur came by, and did not find the trouble. We jumped the contactor and ran down pretty much every components without finding the problem.

When I turn rhe breaker on, the amp/volt meter turns on and display the voltage I'm getting, but a soon as I turn the main switch it trips.

It runs of a 60A gfci breaker in a spa panel..

The only thing I'm concern about is the 50A plug receptacle to plug it in..

Thanks

Found the problem.

Please delete this post! ✌️
I assume that you figured out that the spa panel was wired incorrectly. The load neutral needs to connect the the middle terminal of the GFCI breaker, not the neutral bus in the spa panel.

And, putting my mod hat on: as a general practice, we don't delete threads that have generated any discussion, as the info may benefit other members.

Brew on :mug:
