HOSStile Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have my Alta. electrical code book somewhere but 8 devices which includes lights outlets switches etc. seems to ring a bell which of course would be one of the 8.

ronrca Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) I have my Alta. electrical code book somewhere but 8 devices which includes lights outlets switches etc. seems to ring a bell which of course would be one of the 8. You may be refering to circuiting loading which is typically 12 outlets (1A/oulet) on a 15A breaker unless the load in known (switches not included as there is no load from a switch). I did a quick look thru the CEC and could not find a limit on the number of receptacles that a GFI protects therefore it is limited by the CEC circuiting loading. There may be a spec from the manufacture perhaps. Edited November 9, 2006 by ronrca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Chicklets Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 You can also get breakers that are GFI protected. It would be great for multiple tanks that run on the same circuit . Cost is considerabley more than a regular breaker, but a small price to pay for a possible freak accident The big problem with this is if one item trips the gfi everything shuts down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 My house it only two wire, it is 100 Amp copper will a GFI plug still work on with no ground. If so I think I will put them on all my tanks, I have little hands around here I don't want them to get in a tank with live electricity in it.

Wibber Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) My house it only two wire, it is 100 Amp copper will a GFI plug still work on with no ground. It works. It's also highly recommended for ungrounded systems as you don't have the benefit of bonding. The only hurdle is the cost.

trixie Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Make sure you buy one made after 2003 they are smarter.If there on sale for a lot less they could be older ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
