My current shop was built two years ago. All the 120 circuits have GFCI breakers. Specifically Siemens type QPF, 20a.

About a month ago, whenever I went into the shop, one of the breakers would be tripped. The only thing on that circuit is a lathe and work light. I unplugged them and it would be tripped the next morning. I swapped the circuit with a different breaker and the same breaker kept tripping. So it would appear that I've got a bad breaker.

I went to Home Depot and got a new one ($53!!! Mad ). All good now.

Except now there's a breaker on a completely different circuit tripping. This one only stays set for about an hour before tripping (with nothing connected to the circuit).

I did a quick google and it appears that this is common and referred to as "nuisance tripping".

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve it without dropping another $53?

Any chance of condensation or water leakage?
I've also seen tripping issues when mice get at the wiring.

A ground fault outlet could be used instead of a ground fault circuit breaker. A ground fault outlet can be wired to protect all other outlets that are electrically located downstream from it.

Not here. Code requires a GFCI circuit breaker in the panel. Otherwise I would have gone that route because the outlets don't seem to have as many nuisance trips as the breakers do.

From Electrician.com:

Try to keep your circuit length <100' (not much help if it's in a finished wall) and make the receptacle neutrals all home runs.

Also suggested is to use a megohm meter to measure resistance to each outlet to find the cause of an unloaded circuit tripping.

Sorry for the short, then delayed answers; I was on the road & fingering

my phone.

I certainly wasn't trying to get you in trouble with anyone. But your
1st post said 'every 120 breaker' which I guess means every 120V breaker
in that panel. Unless the NEC has changed radically in the last few
years, the only place GFI breakers are required is near water (over
kitchen/bathroom sinks, outdoors, etc). I've seen a *lot* of CB panels,
and I've never seen one where every 120V breaker was GFI. Are you in
some country other than the USA, or some state or county with bizarrely
draconian electrical codes?

I know that if a contractor tried to tell me I needed GFIs in every
slot, I'd be looking for another contractor.

Having said all that, if I were getting random GFI trips with nothing on
the circuit, I'd be looking for 'issues' with both the ground wiring and
the neutral wiring. I'd probably start with the neutral, making sure
that its 'bond' to the ground in the panel is secure. Also, you can buy
an inexpensive GFI tester for <$20, if you shop around online. There's
tons of posts online about troubleshooting the issue, too.

Here's a link from a reputable meter mfgr discussing how to troubleshoot
the problem.

I believe that the code now states that arc fault are needed everywhere.  Gfci do not like anything that has a motor on it, like microwaves, refrigerators, dishwashers.

The subpanel in my shop only serves the shop.

The code (as I understand it) is that every accessible outlet in a damp enviroment, garage, workshop or unfinished area must be protected by a GFCI breaker. Now whether that has to be an actual circuit breaker or if the first outlet can be a GFCI outlet which protects all the outlets downstream, is something I'm not certain about.

If a GFCI outlet can be used, I'm guessing that since I was installing the outlets, the electrican decided to go with the breaker in case I didn't install the correct outlet.

I'm currently trying to nail down if Florida requires the breaker or if an outlet is acceptable. I've found the breakers online for about $40 so that takes some of the sting out of it.

I do not have GFCI breakers in every slot. Only those which go to outlets.

I would think that if there were ground or neutral wiring problems that the tripping would remain on the same circuit instead of moving with the breaker.

I'll look into getting one of those.

I haven't read the NEC on GFIs, but it's difficult to understand the logic of including 'workshop' in the code. Plugging a drill motor or other tool in a 'workshop' outlet is no different from plugging it in an outlet in your house. I would have thought the only variable would be the damp/moisture issue. Some workshops might be damp, but most people want to keep their tools & equipment dry.

I mentioned looking for 'system' issues because of your earlier email:

So from your narrative it sounded  like you have more than one GFI that's nuisance tripping.

Neutral should not be bonded to ground in a subpanel; only back at the
main panel. And also, make sure that your ground and neutral wires in
the subpanel are on their separate and appropriate bus-bars.

Just out of curiosity, is the wiring in metal conduit, plastic flex, or Romex?

I have had to troubleshoot drywall nails/screws that hit the bullseye in Romex, w/o nail plates,between the hot/neutral and bare ground wire. A lot less likely in plastic conduit because the wires are free to be pushed aside...unless you were born under a bad sign. Metal self-explanatory.

Is this correct?? Sounds like using a pair of jumpers from LINE pair to the panel ground is going to make a lot of sparks and smoke.

2nd Question:
In using a clamp on meter as depicted, assuming it can detect 5ma leak, will the meter show an absolute number? or will it show a positive value for leakage on the hot leg and a negative value for the neutral leg?
That would be convenient Very Happy

John

I think he's telling you to take your shop's wiring out of that circuit. Tie the neutral side (both ends) to ground instead of the neutral. Feed the GFI from a regular breaker. If your shop wiring is causing the problem (nail, screw, etc) then the GFI will no longer see the current imbalance & won't trip. If the GFI is flaky, it will still trip.
