Disco spa

[Federico]

Question, a homeowner has a gazebo with a subpanel. The spa is 10 feet away from the sub panel. Could I use the sub panel and put a 60 GFI breaker as a disconnect for the spa?

Welcome to the forum.

It depends on a few factors, mainly the feeder ampacity.

 

[Federico]

Sorry the spa is 50a The feeders coming from the main panel is #4 wire 80a that feeds the sub panel the gazebo has lights fan and outlets small fridge

 

[LarryFine]

Sounds like it ought to hold. Be sure the grounding/bonding is correct.

 

[Federico]

It has the neutral ground separate in the sub panel not tied in together. I’m just trying to avoid trenching pass the spa to a wall and then come back to the spa. It will be a lot easier just to put a breaker GFI 50 amp in the sub and just go 6ft. of pipe and 4ft. of seal tight to the spa
Buy code does it needs a separate disconnect? I just can’t used the sub panel?

 

[Federico]

The neutral #6 ground #6 from main to sub

No and yes. Close enough and in sight.

Is there a grounding electrode (system)?

 

[Federico]

Yes, if I’m at the spa equipment, access door I could see the sub panel
