Ground Fault Equipment Protection breakers

Can I put 20A GFEP breakers inside my breaker box? This would only be going to 2 outside receptacles. And where in the NEC book can i find this? I dont see it. hmy:

Why would you want to ?
GFP would not provide the GFCI protection required for outdoor receptacles.

In the off chance that you are supplying snow-melting outlets,they do manufacture GF breakers.

Well, we have some problems with our outside receptacles tripping the GFCI breakers we use. So we wondering if we can install GFEP breakers instead.

You can protect your outside outlets by a GFCI circuit breaker in lieu of a GFCI receptacles itself.
Breakers are available for most panels (a few of the extinct panels such as FP, Zinsco and Pushmatic are exceptions)
GF protection for equipment (GFP) has a much higher threshold (such as 30ma to hundreds of amps) than that required for personnel(5 ma)

I'm unsure what is taking place but I noticed you asked the same question twice in November and it was clearly answer. Perhaps a case of trolling..
In any event, I am closing the thread.
