i would suspect a bad 120v heater element leaking to ground aka the metal tube of the heater
you can turn off the ems, or you can pull out the heater element and test it for resistance between the shell/case and the power leads
it should read infinity on the ohms scale any lower reading and its defective
Wouldn't it be bad under generator power also?
The generator does not have a neutral to ground bond
Without the bond, there is no neutral to hot short detected because of leakage
It's a simple test.. pull the heater and test it with the meter
Chris is probably right, EMS problem, not really 40 amps
