I'm working on an electric keggle build using one 5500watt ultra low density element. I'm essentially making my own spa panel using a 240 30amp GFCI breaker since I already have the breaker. I don't want to put the GFCI breaker in the main panel because I'd like my kettle to be portable. The box I'm using is a 70amp main load center.
I guess I'm just looking for a sanity check as far as wiring goes. I only need to power a PID/SSR to the element, so I only need 240v. Does this mean I don't need the neutral for anything after the breaker? My box doesn't have a grounding rail, only a neutral rail. So I would connect the neutral in to the neutral rail along with the curly neutral wire from the gfci breaker, then connect ground to the box and continue the ground wire through to the element? I'm sure this has been answered many times, but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Thanks.
