ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area A puzzel for Henry C

Neutral and ground tied together by mistake at the load at the pool? Coupled with a weak neutral connection at the meter or such place going to the POCO, (or bad neutral in the sub-panel, and another circuit in the subpanel is drawing current) and some neutral current wanting to get back to the POCO's transformer's neutral finds a path thru the GFCI's neutral, to get to that ground by mistake? MIght not need a bad neutral, Just some normal neutral current being diverted to the mistaken ground connection (more than 7 or so ma of several amps would do it).
