Oh my god man, I donāt think Iāve ever really looked closely at that before this weekThe cable/satellite guy(s) sure left a mess.
Were you able to successfully test it?
This thread was an inspiration. The selling point of the lightning acting like a portable generator was amazing to me, but the price point of the home integration system was a no go
After reading through all this, had the install done the past two days. Ignore the panel labels; we also freed up a ton of space, identitied a bunch of unused circuits (house was built in the 30s) and cleared a bunch of room to install the FCSP
Love this truck
Yes! After some trial and error, it worked great.
My Generac is supporting:
If the truck says the circuit is ground faulting it's because ground is touching neutral in the circuit. You can troubleshoot it if you want but if swapping into a different circuit suits your needs maybe it isn't worth the time and effort.
That's great to know- we found a really really messy junction box that we think has something to do with this, but it was late in the day and didn't have overall time to address it.
It could also be that the neutral of this circuit was inadvertently connected to the neutral of another circuit. Handymen like to connect all neutrals together in a junction box, even if from a different circuit.
Indeed! The first step while troubleshooting should be to unplug everything that is known to be on the circuit in order to determine if it's in the wiring itself. In my case it was a fireplace fan that some incompetent baffoon (me) had wired wrong.
Yeah nothing plugged in had a factor- it's got to be in the wiring itself. We found a MESS in a basement junction box (twoIndeed!

We did unplug everything on the circuit, expected it might be a surge protector that was plugged in. It was not. Then we traced the wire from the circuit breaker to a junction box that for some reason met up with an additional circuit breaker and... well- it's unbelievable how much exposed wiring / mixed together is in it. My guys guess is that this is where the main issue lies (fingers crossed, bc it's also the easiest to get to and would be a relief that it's not some problem hidden in a bunch of insulation somewhere in the joists)Indeed!

Iād bet thatās where your problem lies. Highly unlikely to have issues with properly-installed concealed wiring unless you have a rodent problem.
Well, it's an old house, so there is the occasional mouse in the basement, but there's 0 indication anywhere of any chewing going on in the wiring.
Found the problem; the panel box has a lot going on behind the scenes; two neutral connections had accidentally been swapped.
On a side note, Iām really impressed with how sensitive pro power is to pick up on that
