What do you have that requires GFCI protection @ 277 volts?

Up north they use 277 volt heat tapes for snowmelting and de-icing of gutters, this is probally what the OP is doing, and yes they do make one.

That's what I thought of at first. Just wondering what would require GFCI protection at that voltage?

Nothing that I know of.
As you know most GFCI protection is reserved for 125 volt cord and plug connected loads.
I doubt there are many 277 volt hot tubs. (thats a scary thought in itself)

My guess is generally 208 3 phase and the electrical equipment and pumps are located far from the water. :smile:

Most of the commercial pools (health clubs, high schools, etc) that I have been around use 480V pumps.

OK, you all want to see 277 volt or 480 volt hot tubs thats cool.
Myself, I see that is an extremely bad idea.
IMO, a typical self contained hot tub is much different then pools (or hot tubs) with remotely located pumps.
Just call me a wuss. :grin:
