sparky, what i am about to say may not make any sense at all. on a job that i went on a breaker kept tripping. when i checked amps
the circuit was pulling around 24 amps. so
after checking the load saw nothing out of the norm. come to find out there was a plug in air freshner pluged in to a 120 volt recp. the plugin freshner was causing the problem, unpluged it and circuit pulled about 8.5 amps . this does not make any sense to me at all and i would not beleive it had i not seen it . maybe this will help you
