Hey guys have an electrical question if someone could help...
I have a 15amp surge protector plugged into a 20amp breaker. I have 2 600w and two small water pumps plugged into the surge protector.
It has been running fine for years, but two days ago this damn surge protector starts tripping out of the blue. I mean it's on a dedicated 20amp breaker and it isn't overloaded...
We just had some freezes and rapid change in temp, maybe the wires at the breaker came loose due to weather change? Idk just brainstorming... The surge protector still says grounded and protected, so I doubt it's a problem with that... Maybe a wire is loose causing a surge and the strip to pop?
The receptacle is in my garden (obviously) so I can't get an electrician. Can anyone help me trouble shoot this?
