I searched and didn't find so if it's been addressed in the forum I apologize.
Dont know a lot about pools but my new inground pool has a big 12V LED spot evidently powered by a pretty massive ACDC converter in the exterioir pump electrical box. A basic paddle SPST switch was installed between the transformer and a class A gfci 15 amp breaker to mains
so today I replaced the paddle switch with an Insteon On/Off paddle switch with no success
there wasn't a neutral on the SPST switch that the pool company installed and knowing my insteon switch requires a neutral I ran a 12 awg wire from the left bus bar of the pool box.(all white wires coming from that bar. And the manufacturer label asserting yes white is neutral..and my multimeter backing that up as far as I know)
as soon as I close the breaker it trips.
Killed the ground wire to make sure it wasn't a
ground short. Still trips.
Disconnect the load wire with just line, neutral and ground and no lights illuminate on my switch.
Ive installed a lot of insteon switches so I'm pretty damned sure I'm wired correct but GFCI + Insteon is new to me
any issues with GFCI breakers and insteon on off sw switches? Or maybe something else?
