Does anyone know what would make a new Eaton/Cutler Hammer 60a spa panel GFCB not trip when the test button is -pressed. I press the test button and nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated appreciated.

First, make sure the breaker is actually on. Verify power is leaving the breaker, or the equipment is running that it protects. If all that is a go, you just experienced a faulty breaker. Faulty, as long as you don't have the ground tied to the neutral at any point after the breaker. If so, you cooked the breaker. Eaton/Cutler-Hammer isn't my first choice in GFI....in fact, it's one of my last choice.

Thanks for the onfo. You were right the GFCB was bad, and it was brand new right out of the box. I lost my reciept and had to spend another 70.00 for another one. I'll never buy from Cutler Hammer again. The Square D brand was only $5.00 more at HD but I already had a C.H. Subpanel.

Great site by the way!

Good to hear you are back in business... IMHO Square D QO is the best you can buy... fits in a smaller space too.

I have a Sq "D" that is about two months old that does not trip if tested. I am starting to lean towards it being a faulty breaker. It worked fine when I got the tub up and running back in March. I guess i'll go back to lowes and talk to someone in there about the problem. When I find out I will post.

Home Depot and Lowes are both Good about taking parts back without a reciept, they usually will give in store credit , but I know I spend enough at those places that thats never been a problem for me.
