I’m stumped, they delivered a steam table to a job I’m doing, tag calls for 3000W 125V. It has a 50A/125V cord. Everything has to be gfci, don’t even know if Siemens makes a 50A/125V gfci breaker let alone find one right now. Suggestions? Can you use one pole of 250v breaker?

If they don’t or you can’t find one mount a hot tub disco on the wall near it

Yeah, wonder why the cord is so big. 3000 is only 24 amps 30 for continuous load
I first thought it was to bypass the gfci requirement, but it’s 50A “and” below
Can you use one leg of a double pole 30 gfci? With materials so hard to find no one has a single pole. You know a code reference on the use of double pole? Trying to find it

Sure, why not. Amps is Amps whether or not they flow line to line or line to neutral so the breaker will operate correctly on overload and for a ground fault or short circuit. As far as the GFCI protection it is looking only looking at the balance of the load on the circuit so it will be fine.
There isn't one.

Factory supplied cord? Distributor supplied? Used equipment and someone else had this cord on it?
Hard wire it and you don't need a GFCI?
Put a 20 amp 125/250 volt cord end and 4 wire cord on it and use a 20 amp 2 pole GFCI?
Few possible options
