Call a professional. Don't reset the tripped breaker again without having it looked at. It is tripping for a reason...a potentially dangerous/hazardous reason.
There could be several things going on with your system. Call a contractor and let them have a look. If you need help finding a local company, check our contractor locator map.
But whatever you do, do not keep resetting the breaker. You could injure yourself, your family, or your equipment.
Today I replaced the 30 Amp 2 pole breaker only to find that the installer used 10-2 romex instead of 10 3, there's no neutral wring going to the unit. However there is a neutral wire going to the unit on the 60 Amp circuit.
The reason I decided to replace the breaker is because originally the circuit was used for the old condenser that has seized the technician tripped it numerous times while troubleshooting the old system.
you need a ground not a neutral should be 10/2 with ground wire
It's a 2 pole 30 amp circuit breaker it should be 10 3 with a ground they hooked the white wire to one of the poles on the breaker then wrapped it in black tape.
My system has 3 240 VAC 2 pole breakers, a 30 amp to the fan coil, a 60 amp for electric heat, and a 40 amp to the condenser.
I didn't know that was still allowed, the cable run is 20' long how much did they save by doing that?
The breaker hasn't tripped since I replace it.
Dealer still coming out on Monday.
