meet 210/8(B)

???

Something along the lines of this with the right breaker and enclosure type, NEMA 1 or 3

The specs don't tell us if it is Class A. Guessing that since it is not UL listed and only Recognized we are SOL.

would 'trip point' qualify>>>?

Trip Point

5, 10, or 30 mA selectable

thx Rog, but i'm looking to meet code re> 210.8

the bummer is the market appears to be less than accommodating

Steve you would simply purchase the appropriate GFCI breaker and install it in the enclosure.

I would if they made one Roger, fwiw....the panel is a 3ph GE

The supply panel wouldn't matter Steve. You can mount another manufacturers disconnect (enclosed breaker) downstream.

another manufacturers 3 phase gfci breaker ?

My question is similar. Who makes them?

If I understand roger's suggestion correctly, he is suggesting that you mount something like this:

QOB320GFI - Mini circuit breaker, QO, 20A, 3 pole, 208Y/120VAC, 10kA, 6mA grd fault A, pigtail, bolt on mount | Schneider Electric USA

Schneider Electric USA. QOB320GFI - Mini circuit breaker, QO, 20A, 3 pole, 208Y/120VAC, 10kA, 6mA grd fault A, pigtail, bolt on mount.

www.se.com

in a small 'stand alone' panel that only contains the one breaker

and run a feeder from your supply panel to this small stand alone panel

But arrrrrgh on the price....

Jon has it. Don't pay a lot of attention to prices on SQ D's website however it would still be expensive I'm sure.

That one you posted is also QOB - not sure if there is single breaker enclosures for QOB breakers or not, but they also do have plug on types in two and three pole GFCI's in catalog, not necessarily for every standard overcurrent device size. Not certain how readily available they are either. Price - probably don't want to know.
