2015年4月19日 · So with your 50 amp gfci breaker installed in your circuit. Have you energized your panel with all the smaller panel breaker off? If it trips your 50 amp still, check your e-stop. It may be fooling you and be closed even when you think it is open. With all the smaller panel breakers open, if your main breaker holds.

2012年11月17日 · The function of a breaker in a panel is to protect the wiring downstream of the panel from over heating caused by current beyond what the installed wire can handle. Here's a picture of the insides of one. The over-current trip mechanism is clearly labeled. It would be quite possible to make a GFCI/ELCB only breaker but they don't.

2020年4月12日 · My understanding is the breaker is mainly to protect the wiring, so the wiring should be ample to carry 30 amps and the 50 amp gfci should cover ground faults. If I use a 30 amp receptacle I could chose between brewing in the laundry room, or brewing in the kitchen.

2010年4月7日 · With MIG and TIG welders, it depends on the type. while i have not tested it out, the new electronic ones should run on GFCI. A work around is replace the panel breaker with a regular 50 amp, use the GFCI 50 in a "spa disconect' with a cord you plug into the welding outlet.

2016年8月23日 · There is no way you'll find a 100 amp GFCI breaker for less than $150, more likely $200 depending on the brand. Not only that but splitting 100 amps down to a pair of 50 amp breakers is a good thing. Whether you feel compelled to break it down further to 25 or 30 amp breakers per element is up to you (I personally don't).

2016年12月22日 · you could have a hundred 50 amp receptacles on a single branch circuit and be perfectly code complaint. the nec dictates receptacle, conductor and circuit breaker rating requirements for a given circuit but does not dictate quantity of receptacles. what it does dictate is that the total load on the circuit does not exceed the circuit rating.

2014年12月19日 · Is your gfci breaker in your house panel or a separate panel fed from another breaker in your house panel? In either case there are safe work-arounds that enable using your garage circuit to connect the gen set to your home wiring. A few lights and frig full of edible food are worth having during an extended power outage. Another consideration.

2007年1月24日 · I'll probably install a Stab Lok 'Spa Buddy' which is a 50A sub panel. New it costs about $230 without shipping, taxes, or cabling but it comes with a standard 50A breaker for the main panel and a GFCI breaker for the sub. I just need to verify that I can install two 30A and one 10A breaker in the panel.

2019年11月22日 · I don't know of anyone who makes a DIN Rail mount, double pole GFCI breaker. Personally, I don't like using a separate spa panel; I use a 30 amp GFCI breaker in the main panel Pricey but worth the money. A GFCI is a last-resort kind of thing, but since we're dealing with home built rigs, I would never consider brewing without it.

2021年9月10日 · That's exactly what I would do. Should be easy to find a standard double-pole breaker for any panel. Then put the Spa Panel at the location for the brewing setup. Spa panels are pretty much always 50 amp, which doesn't matter as long as the breaker in the main panel is rated correctly for the wire installed.
