PRE-SATURDAY NIGHT QUIZ
BASIC FACTS:
A generic submersible pump. Any make or model.
Did work great. Used to do odd jobs when and where needed. Then, one day, or night, as the case may be, it started to trip the GFCIs. Everytime it was plugged into a GFCI it tripped it immediately. When plugged into a breaker only protected circuit it runs apparently normally.
An inspection reveals water in the pump’s electrical chamber, but there is no way that the water leaked in thru the various seals. The pump checks out as still perfectly watertight per manufacturer’s design specs.
QUESTION:
How did the water get into the motor?
