Does a 30 amp dryer outlet require AFCI / GFCI protection? I cannot find a duel function breaker for a double pole square d homeline 30 amp breaker only finding GFCI ones. Solution?
The requirement for outside GFCI protection at dwelling units requires that the "outlet" have GFCI protection, so it applies to both hard wired and cord and plug connected equipment.
The GFCI false trips are vehicle dependent and condition dependent). The protections from an EVSE have the same goal as a NEC GFCI. Anyone wanting a deep dive into EVSE could pony up for some light reading: UL 2251 Standard for Plugs, Receptacles and Couplers for Electric Vehicles
UL Rep at IAEI meeting today, said UL just finished publishing a GFCI standard for the high frequency. It may be too little too late, since developers have entrenched appliance OEM’s that work with old GFCI’s. Without new construction demand, manufacturers wont have volume support for products, and big box stores wont keep shelf space for anything that collects dust.
But since its on a GFCI, if the frame provides a decent path back to the panel, that's a separate neutral path and will cause the GFCI to trip. Removing the jumper removes the safety bonding from the dryer frame, but the GFCI should save a person when being shocked by tripping. Best solution is to install a proper 4 wire circuit.
I thought there was an exception for refrigeration equipment being on a GFCI circuit. But I can't seem to find it in the 2023 code.
I assume this has been discussed already in this forum but I wasn't able to find a recent thread. NEC 2023 210.8(A)(6) requires all 125-250V single phase receptacles in a kitchen to be GFCI protected. We recently rewired a kitchen including a 50A GFCI circuit to a Miele induction range. They...
