 Post subject: Two Circuit Disconnect.....

Any advice on what to use for a two-circuit disconnect? The spa has a 220V/30A heating element and a 120V/20A motor hence the need for two separate circuits. Have a 50A breaker in the main, now what to use for a disconnect while still protecting each circuit. Like to find a outdoor panel for 4 spaces(2POLE/30A & Single/20A = actually 3 spaces) cannot find one. Thanks for any insight. - Marty

if you go to your local hardware store, you should be able to find an 8 circuit (6 position) or similar sized subpanel. Typically they can handle up to 100A. Just run your wires from the 50A GFCI to the subpanel, and any standard breaker you use in that subpanel will be GFCI protected. Just keep in mind, DO NOT USE THE BONDING SCREW to bond the neutral bus to the ground bus! This will instantly kill your GFCI 50A breaker.
