Today I replaced a GFCI breaker with a regular breaker. After our rewiring in 2016 we had all GFCI outlets installed in the bathrooms but the GFCI breakers were not replaced in the panel. One tripped in the middle of the night. I tried to turn it back on and it sparked and turned off. So I thought no big deal we have circuits left over from some they removed. So I proceeded to disconnect the GFCI to replace it.
The Emporia Vue Energy system that I installed to monitor our electrical use made a mess of our power box. I can’t fit the cover on. But it helps to monitor the electricity us of the 16 circuits it covers. Other circuits are monitored by the Efergy system.
The leftover regular 20 amp circuit was an easy install. I just had to extract the two white and one black GFCI wires from this tangle and replace with just one black and white.
Unfortunately the circuit breaker was difficult for me to plug back into the box. As I was doing it another breaker popped out. That one happened to be the well 220 circuit. I had to call Dave to plug them back in for me because no matter how much I tried I could not get them to plug in.
Dave got it right away but made a small error. That led to a much bigger project!
