PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

If you step up to 20 Amps:

20 x 120 = 2400

2400 - 480 = 1920 Watts

 

the basement should be its own circuit.

 

Dehumidifier not in use...

 

Also everything outside should be sealed. Having a power tower and open connectors sitting outside exposed to the elements isn’t a good idea and can fault the GFCI

 

Whenever someone uses the treadmill, the recessed lights in the kitchen pulsate, as does the light in the powder room...

 

Also food for thought. Every time a breaker trips, it gets weaker

 

The bathrooms are on their own breaker I believe, now that I think about, but the bathrooms all share the same circuit...

 

false , ask me how I know

 

Also those dusk to dawn controllers burn out quick and can kick breakers. Had that issue also

 

Also, it's not a switch within the circuit breaker; This GFCI is separate from the main breaker I think...

The internet, cable, and Christmas lights will all go out but everything else in the house still works!

 

I'm gonna guess you own one?

 

I build them

 

Is it a breaker in the panel tripping not the main obviously) or just the GFCI?

 

Still waiting to hear if there are two GFCI outlets on the same circuit.

 

We did not start having the breaker pop issue until I swapped the controllers; I'm thinking I might put the newer one back in the main location. The older one is far more intuitive to use, and I haven't figured out how to operate the timer on the new one (I just unplug it every night before bed).

 

Yes; With the exception of the bathrooms every GFCI is on the same circuit. The bathrooms all share a circuit, and something happened with the breaker a couple weeks ago where none of the lights in our three bathrooms worked (simple as flipping a switch to get it working again though).

 

The compressor has only been used twice in the last couple of weeks and is not plugged in when not in use.

 

How many damn GFCI outlets are on this one circuit? There really should only be one per circuit.

Also, stop talking about other circuits not related to this one. You're muddying the waters with too much information that may not be relevant. Stick to what you know is on this one circuit. If you don't know, find out.

 

Sounds like some bad electrical work. Need to be careful and open the circuit panel and check connections. The upstairs lights shouldnt flicker. When running treadmil.

 

I'm no electrician but pretty certain there should only be 1 GFCI plug on the circuit protecting everything else downstream
