MEP 803 A tripping CB3

[jaybird67k]

So after all the work I have done to this generator and I have it all buttoned up and ready for use the CB3 keeps tripping. It never did this before through the entire process. It's not a big deal because I reset it and it works fine I just want to know why.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jason

First step of troubleshooting: duplicate the discrepancy. Since you have that done, don't reset that CB more than once for things like to melt and catch fire if you do. There's some fault logic troubleshooting guides in the TM that may prove useful.

The GFCI in one of my sets is flakey. It doesn't trip, but much of the time after starting I need to "flick" the reset button to get power to the outlet.
Does yours trip and pop out?

I don't know. I run it and shut it down then next time i go to start its tripped and I reset and starts normally.

I'd suggest disconnecting the GFCIs output to the outlet and see if the tripping stops. If it does the outlet may be bad. If it still trips then I'd say the GFCI is toast.
