Comment on Ender 3 V2 Causing Circuit Breaker to Trip (Even when PSU is flipped off!)

Is it plugged into a GFCI protected outlet?

The power supply will have RFI filters in it and they always have some leakage. They may be installed before the power switch. There could just be too many devices with some earth leakage connected to the circuit, causing it to trip without any of them being faulty.

If the outlet is GFCI it would trip instead of the breaker.

Would this help? I’m currently using a standard 3-prong outlet with no ground fault protection, but I suppose I could install one on the given port…

This could be, I suppose. Though what should someone do about this ultimately? I’ve already tried removing elements a piece at a time, but it would only work properly once the ender was off the circuit.

  Earth leakage would only trip the breaker if it was a GFCI, so the problem is something else.

    No, large inductive loads can cause a trip. The sensor is only measuring 0.006A missing between the hot and neutral, windings can delay the neutral output.

  If it’s not a GFCI or AFCI protected circuit then it has to be overcurrent. Something isn’t right with your PSU and it’s drawing more than 15 amps or 20 amps if yours is in the kitchen.
