Electrical wiring question

[Junior_Brewmaster]

I have a 5500 watt heater in a brew pot controlled manually through an SSR. I have a gfci 30 amp breaker with 4 conductor cable out, 2 hots, a ground and a neutral. The heater only uses the two hots and a ground. What do I do with the neutral wire. Left disconnected, the gfci breaker trips.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Are you sure your element is 220V? Without a nuetral all returning current from your element is going to ground. Will trip a gfci every time.

The GFCI should have a pigtail that terminates to the neutral bus bar. The load neutral should terminate to the GFCI breaker, however a 220v element should just need the two hots and a ground.

Post some pictures as somethings not right here.

Thanks CU_tony. I'll try and attach a picture here. Ok, I think it's attached. I'm new at this so I'm a little slow.
There are 4 wires coming from the breaker but as you said the heater only needs 3. I'd like to keep the gfi protection but I don't know how to wire this. Thanks for any help.
