4. On ground fault breakers serving four-wire loads,

check that the neutral sensor is properly connected,

as indicated in Figure 21. In particular, check the

following:
a.

Verify that the neutral sensor has the same rating

and tap setting as the phase sensors.

b.

Verify continuity between the neutral sensor and

its equipment-mounted secondary disconnect

block. Also check for continuity from the breaker-

mounted neutral secondary disconnect block

through to the trip unit wiring harness connector.

c.

If the breaker’s lower studs connect to the power

source, then the neutral sensor must have its load

end connected to the source.

d.

Verify that the neutral conductor is carrying only

the neutral current associated with the breaker’s

load current (the neutral is not shared with other

loads).

5. If the preceding steps fail to identify the problem,

then measure the sensor resistances. The appro-

priate values are listed in Table 1. Since the phase

and neutral sensors are electrically identical, their

resistances should agree closely.
