I'm completing a bath room remodel and added a new dedicated 20A circuit for a receptacle and fan. The light circuit remains on its original shared circuit with other rooms.
My understanding was that code allows for an exhaust fan and receptacle to be on the same dedicated circuit so here is what I installed.
The new circuit enters into a jb in the attic. There the circuit is split and one leg goes directly to the receptacle which contains the gfci. The other leg of the circuit goes to a wall switch controlling an exhaust fan. The fan is only rated at a couple amps and is grounded to the circuit. Occasionally the gfci trips when the fan is turned off. No other devices on that circuit are being used when that occurs.
Any ideas on why the gfci is tripping?
