Disclaimer - I am hiring a licensed electrician to install this outlet in my garage. I just want to make sure I understand what I'm talking about when I speak to the electrician. Thanks in advance.
I am building a 240v, 10,000 watt electric brewhouse. I plan to use in my garage by plugging main power supply to a wall outlet to be installed. I believe I will need a 240v 50amp gfci 2-pole breaker installed in my main distribution box - suitable wiring to an outlet - then the actual outlet. Am I missing any major component? Cant I just use a combination gfci breaker in the breaker panel or do I need seperate breaker then external gfci? I've seen the gfci breakers at home depot for about 80 to 100 bucks and I'm thinking that's what I need installed.
From there, I plan on it being a 4-wire system so I can use 115v in the brewhouse panel for powering a pump. So there will have to be 4 wires from the breaker to a 4 prong outlet then a 4 prong plug and main power cord to the brewhouse panel. Does this all jive?
Just want to make sure I'm speaking the same language as the electrician. Am I missing something or is this enough info for a safe install?
Thanks!
