Voltmeter/Polarity indicator circuit diagram

[Chuck Wheeler]

I recently had a problem tripping GFI. It turned out to be the Front heater. It can be a challenge to locate the problem because turning off the breaker will not isolate a ground fault. I had to go through each circuit and disconnect the neutral until I discovered the offending circuit. (Turn off the breaker when the neutral is disconnected!) This required turning off the power to the BB, disconnecting the neutral and turning off the breaker for each circuit, then reapplying power to see if the GFI still tripped. Before I modified the Power monitor it would trip some GFI but not all. It was drawing current right at the trip point so it would trip some, but not all GFIs.

I am even more confused now. I plugged the survivor into my home kitchen GFCI and no trip! I guess the next step is to see if the coach trips with the devices removed.
