Ground Fault circuit breaker
I am having a problem with my GFI circuit breaker. It trips. Now
perhaps it is working correctly, but I'm not sure. The circuit controls the central vac in the garage (and a couple of outlets in the garage and exterior of the house.) I was told by a reliable electrician that one problem might be leakage due to build up of dust in the vacuum, or in the outlet boxes. I removed them all and blew the dust out, and took the vacuum apart and cleaned it well. The problem may have gotten better, but it is still there. A new breaker is pretty expensive and may not be the problem. How can I troubleshoot this? Is there anything that I can plug in to an outlet to determine if 'this one is the problem'? Rob |
