You want all of you equipment to have a single path to ground. A circuit breaker opens when there is an overheating of the conductor (dead short) a GFCI opens when it senses that current is going somewhere other than the return on the neutral conductor such as to ground through a human.Įlectricity follows the path of least resistance and the fact that all of your grounds and neutrals are bonded (or should be) at the panel is normal and would not contribute to this problem you are having. BREAKERS are for conductor protection.Ī GFCI is VERY much different than a circuit breaker. Once the amperes get past a certain threshold, the circuit opens. GFCI outlets pop when there is too much current on ground. The real solution is getting current off of neutral and ground. It is 1 step of a very frustrating process to eliminate background noise, hum, etc. So this is just friendly advice and steps I've taken to avoid ground loops in my ham radio equipment. And it will effect EVERYTHING on that panel. If some piece of equipment on that circuit is inducing current onto either neutral or ground.this can be a source of hum that is heard. The white and the green are connected to the same ground bus. You know what's funny, if you go to your breaker panel in your house, open up the door and then open up the thing where you can see the wiring that goes into all the breakers, and to the ground bus, you'll see something funny.
