Retrofit GFCI installation

[five.five-six]

I got an order to install power for 4 Instahots in a medical back office. I don’t know of any combination of GFCI recepticle and tigergrip box that fit together. Each one is getting its own HR in MC, is my only option to use GFCI breakers?

Where are you wanting to locate them? GFCI's also need to be readily accessible and that might be another reason to select GFCI breakers.

I’ve never put a GFCI breaker in a bolt on panel. I guess they make them. I know its 3 phase service but I don’t remember if they had bolt on panels at this location.

They probably a little pricey compared to plug on. Less labor to just bolt it on vs set up something else is at least somewhat a tradeoff though.

Newer Square D NQ series panels accept either bolt on or plug on breakers. Don't know if anyone else has that ability, Eaton's original CH series maybe might, never seen those in bolt on but assuming they have them.

How about dead front GFCI's near the insta hots? Will those fit in the tiger grip box (I think they are less bulky than a GFCI receptacle)?

Every CH bolt on panelboard I’ve worked in accepts bolt on and clamp on. The BAB’s only take bolt on, but if it’s the grey handle CH it will take both.

Square D and CH both make bolt on GFCI’s.
