 |
|
I have Warm Tiles floor heat in the floor of my bathroom. Per the electrical inspector I need to install a GCFI brealer for the circut. Currently there is a 240v double pole 15a breaker installed with two screw terminals. There are two wires connected to it and a ground that attaches to the neutral bar in the panel. The two wires go to the line voltage thermostat for the floor heat.
When I got the new 240v GFCI dounle pole 15a breaker I see it has three screw terminals and a white currly wire attached. I connected the white curly wire to the neutral bar in the panel per the instructions. Then I connected the two wires that are going to my thermostat to the two screw terminals that are black and labeled Load -. There is a screw terminal in between those labeled Load n, nothing is currently connected to that. I have power to the thermostat but when I press the test button it doesn't trip the GFCI breaker.
Any thoughts?

| does your floor tile circuit have a nuetral and where does the load nuetral feed from? per your breaker instructions... does "ln" denote load nuetral? |
