A 1650 Watt element will go on momentarily but then causes the 20 Amp GFI to break.
I tried it on 2 different GFI breakers.
When plugged into a non-GFI circuit, it works fine.
There are a few possibilities that my meager mind considered:
1> There is some current in the neutral leg. Multimeter does not show anything.2> Buy a higher Amp GFI.
3> The GFI is more sensitive to a load near its 20 Amp rating. 1650Watts/(20 x 115)4> And the no-no answer, replace the GFI with a non-GFI breaker.
Any suggestions?
