This 40 amp breaker had #14 gauge wiring which should have #8 stranded copper. The #14 gauge wire could overheat and fail before the breaker trips, this is a serious concern. Also this 40 amp breaker was for a hot tub and not GFCI rated which is also a serious safety concern. GFCI – Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors trip the power when a imbalance is detected. This safety device protects people from electrical shock and is very important for a hot tub or pool. #fail #safetyfirst #safe #health #danger #hottub #electrical #homeinspector #enginspections #pool
