Pool lights tripping breaker. I have installed a 100 amp service panel with an isolated neutral for pool branch circuits. The pump and the electric heater work fine on two other GFCI breakers. I have two pool lights wired back to the service panel. The neutrals are tied to the neutral bar. The grounds are tied to the ground bar. I installed the hot wire from the breaker to an outlet and one side of a spst switch. The black wires coming from the lights are connected to the other side of the switch. The outlet above has a neutral and ground wire pulled back to the respective ground and neutral bars. The problem is when either either black wire is connected to the switch the breaker trips. Need a little help?
