Cutler Hammer 1 Pole 15 Amp Ground Fault Questions & Answers
No, i have a 50
GFCI's are really temperamental. They are this way for a reason. It seems like you have something that is tripping this. I would try using a regular 50 amp breaker, and then see what happens. You can also try process of elimination. Shut everything down, then bring power up - one item/circuit, appliance, etc. at a time. This will narrow down your problem. Also, if you have a refrig/freezer on this GFCI, this could be tripping it too. Any appliance, etc. that has a motor - usually leaks to ground just enough for the GFCI breaker to sense, and trip it. I hope some of these solution's will help you...Good Luck!
Ground Fault circuit Breaker trips each time a load is applied
The most likely causes in their order of probability are: 1) water somewhere in the circuit causing the hot wire to ground; 2) a legitimate trip caused by a defect in a device plugged into the circuit; and 3) a defective GFCI breaker. In the first case, wait until it has been dry for about a week and see if it trips. In the second case, make sure there is nothing plugged into the circuit and try resetting. In the third case go ahead and put the regular breaker in, then put a GFCI outlet into the first box downstream from the breaker. If installed according to the directions, that outlet should protect all of the outlets downstream.
How to reset Cutler Hammer 1 pole 15 Amp
Turn handle to off position and then back on. Same as any other breaker. The red test button can be pressed which will trip breaker. If it trips immediately,unplug all devices on circuit and try to reset. Reconnect each device and see which trips breaker. If this goes to outdoor receptacle, check behind cover for moisture.
I just tested the breaker and it won't reset. I
yes. If you still have the fault it will not reset. Disconnect the out going wire to isolate the breaker and try again. If it still doesn't reset then the GFCI breaker is bad and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps you, Jeepfxr
Can I replace a CEB CU/AL QB breaker with a QBH CU one?
nope breaker has to be rated for the aluminum wiring. if your home is wired with al wiring u need to be really worried bout that. it becomes a fire hazard awhile. should only use al for larger size wires and personally I wouldn't do that either

Gfi breaker keep triping
Might be their job or it's gone.
1. replace the breaker (cheap and fast) ... they do go bad.
2. Remove everything from the circuit and try each to find the short.
I just removed a cutler
Check where the main power wires come in to see if is has been properly sealed. Moisture may have found its way in through the opening and caused the problem. Hope this helps.
