Easy touch breaker

[tgbfdl]

Hope this isn't a stupid question. I am getting some of the preliminary wiring started on my easy touch panel today. Do I need a gfci breaker for the circuit that powers the easy touch power transformer? TIA!

tg,

You live in Fond Du Lac??? Any idea what is means or where the name came from?

The answer to your question is no, you do not need a GFCI breaker on the ET's power transformer.

Thanks for posting,

Jim R.

Fond du Lac is French for bottom of the lake. We are located at the foot of Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Do I need a separate gfci breaker for the surge protector I plan to install or do I double tap the breaker I'm using to power the easy touch transformer?

tg,

I would not add a GFCI breaker for anything except the pool pump and any pool light circuits.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Not even for a gas pool heater?

Sorry for all of the questions, but what size breaker would I get for the intermatic px300?

A surge protector should be on a standard thermal breaker and it have the amp rating as specified by the instructions that come with the surge protector.

The gas heater should be on a GFCI protected circuit.
