Slide tripping breaker
I had posted about problems with the slide breaker tripping multiple times to get all three out or in. When new it might have tripped once in putting out/in all three. Then it started getting worse to the point I would spend minutes getting them in or out. I read all the comments but had not tried to fix it until yesterday. I decided that I would lubricate everything first. It did not help. I don’t believe they had ever been lubricated before and I felt they should be anyway. I had gotten a new 50 amp breaker so I installed it and I could run all three in or out without releasing the button or the breaker tripping.
One thing that should have told me the breaker had a problem was the pump was not sounding like it was under a load when tripping. When all three had finished moving the pump would load up but didn’t trip the breaker.
