I had inspection on a job today where we fed a new spa. The spa company furnished a disconnect with a 50A GFCI circuit breaker in it. The nameplate on the unit said it was rated 32A @ 230V so we pulled #8's and installed a 40A circuit breaker in the main panel to feed the GFCI disconnect and then from there to the spa. The inspector didn't like this setup and cited 430.32 and said I needed to change the 50A breaker to 40A. I argued that #1 it was not a continuous duty motor and #2 that the 40A breaker in the main panel provided overload protection and the 50A breaker in the disconnect provided GFCI protection. We are going to change the breaker, the GC said just do it, but I want to know, who is technically correct in this case?
