I am sorry if this was answered before but I couldn't find it, I know that there is a lot of discussion regarding if a GFCI is needed or not, to me it is but the question is :
Instead of installing a GFCI circuit breaker in the house panel can I just use one of this in line GFCI (like this one 240 Volt AC 30 Amp Inline Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
Please note that the main difference is that I can't use this in line from my house inlet to my control panel as it is 4 wires (L1, L2, N, G) (all inline GFCI are 3 wires)
So what this means is that I can only use this between the control panel and the heating element, meaning that only the heating element and the water inside the kettle will be GFCI protected. This makes sense to me but I could be wrong. I cannot see any scenarios where the control panel or the pump will get contact with water in order to need GFCI protection. They are above the ground.
By doing this I can use my brewing system in any 240 inlet without having to add circuit breakers for each (planning to install one for outdoors and use the electric dryer inlet for indoors.
Thanks in advance for your comments
