Commercial gutter self regulated heat tape GFI protection.

Hate touching this stuff but it's now part of the commercial project I'm working on. The installer is requiring a type EPE (100ma) circuit breaker which we use for boat docks feeding services at the end of the dock. My gut feeling say's he just doesn't ever want to come back on a service call for a tripped c/b. Type EPD (30ma) is my guess but I'm feeling a little blonde today. I know the answer but need a little assurance . Thanks

My $$ would be on 30ma but I can't find where the NEC states a GF level. I would think the manufacturer would address it in their instructions.

Mine to... Trying to get info from the installer but he knows more than me I guess. I try to avoid this stuff like the plague but have to on this job.

Type EPD 30ma seems like the correct call. Thanks

30ma was the mfg suggestion for the last ones we did.
