I have been using an inline 30A GFCI cable for several years, it has served me well, unit today. Each time I use the cord, I will do a test trip prior to connecting, and after connecting. Today was just like any other day, plugged into control panel, which has March pump built in. I was able to run the pump no problem, but as soon as I switched on one of the elements, it tripped.
EDIT: Just found out the main 220v breaker for the dryer outlet tripped as well. I thought the GFCI was supposed to trip if there was an issue and not the breaker as well.
The only problem is it will not reset now, I have even taken it apart to see if there were any burnt wires, or issues. Nothing out of place or smelling burnt.
This thing is the heart of my brewery Is there anything I should do further to test? The black button will push in but not hold.
I connect the cord to my home dryer outlet as it just inside from garage, if this thing really is dead. Should I just switch out the breaker in my main box with a GFCI one?
