I recently replaced a standard 2-pole 20A breaker on my pool pump with a 20A GFI. I had a few nuisance trips and thought I solved it by preventing my booster pump from coming on while the main pump was on. Everything was fine for about a week when it tripped again. I reset it, and still didn't have power. I found it wasn't supplying current even when it was switched on. At that point it also would not trip using the test button. I swapped the old breaker back in and everything's working. Anyone have an explanation why a breaker would fail like this so soon after install? It was an Eaton brand breaker (unless it was a counterfeit).
