I know this isn't about PLC help but I have seen many electrical problems solved here. I never had the opportunity to hook up one of these and could use some guidance. I am running the electrical for a pool at my house and have run 220VAc off of a 2pole breaker from the house along with a ground and neutral. This is going to a disconnect at the pool. At the pool I have a 2pole GFCI in the box I connected my ground to the ground bar. On the breaker there are 3 connections, 2 Load power terminals and a load neutral. There is a white pigtail that came on the breaker,that I hooked to the neutral bar, and ran my motor leads to the load power terminals. I took the "house" neutral to the load neutral terminal. When I turn on the breaker it trips immediately. I disconnected the neutral pigtail to the bar and have voltage on it to ground. The only way I can keep power to the motor is to bypass the GFCI. Of course this is just temporary until I figure out what is wrong. I want this to be as safe as I can make it and am not hooking up any other circuits till I get this figured out. If you could give me some guidance, I will appreciate it.
