GFI Breaker trips when I use the outlet

[chrisexv6]

I have tried two different devices and they would both would trip the breaker. I will look at the ground and the outlet again. This is all new equipment. Do you think the GFI breaker could be bad? I was hoping to figure this out before I have to call the pool builder back.

This is what happened to me as well. I tried the pool pump and that tripped it. I plugged in an oscillating fan and that tripped it. Just for further proof, I plugged in a Shop Vac and that tripped it as well (keep in mind these devices would actually run for some amount of time, it wasnt like they were shorting out and tripping the breaker instantly).

I too was worried it was the breaker, but in my case it just turned out to be the outlet causing a problem.
