GFI Faults and interior light replacemts
What? the shore power supply is gfi protected?? A GFI will trip when
the neutral wire and the hot wire current are not equal.current is
amps?

AC is an acronym for alternating current , not as simple but 20
amps at one hot legRed and 25 amps at the other hot legBlack must
equal out with with 45amp showing in the neutral wire (as the amps
alternate back and forth). if there is less than the 45a
(20Red+25Black)in the neutral there is a path thru ground some place
wher the amps are lost to .or, with two legs of hot like a 50 amp
service It could be that the neutral wire is faulty and you are
passing current between the two legs?????????? I can not figure how
this happens but it does and you end up with overvoltage >120 , <240
on one leg. that will remove it from the neutral test math and trip
it without showing up in the ground path.

I put one 30 amp 240Vgfi circuit breaker to my pool pump house sub
that was not required by code. I later decided to replace it with a
hardwire typical breaker because I had fear that my intended
upgrade was overlooking some of the electromechanics with pool
light 'at appliance' gfi protection?????? I nolonger use a
tennisball to test the pool light, Tim figured out what I was doing.

Long story short sounds like a faulty neutral if that would trip
one???? I dig holes for a living, this is my understanding with hope
of confirmation or correction.
