Just curious. Seems like I've seen builds with a single gfci breaker or power cord supplying the power to the box, but nothing to protect each circuit such as: HLT, Kettle, Pump, etc. Is it even needed since the whole project is gfci protected?
Would it be better to supply a project with a 60 amp gfci spa panel, then split that power supply off to each circuit's own breaker, so a 25A 240 breaker for the 5500w kettle, a 20A 240 breaker for the 4500w HLT, a 15A 120 breaker for the RIMS 1500w element, a 15A breaker for the pump and 12v transformer?
Just trying to plan out a system, if I can run it all off of a 60A gfci spa panel and be safe, that would save me some money!
