5ma is for personnel protection, other ma trip values are available for equipment protection purposes I'm under the 2017 nec. An rcd, or residual current device, is usually a separate panel mount device (such as a din rail mounted mini circuit breaker) and is designed specifically for equipment protection

Heat trace would be a good.
I would not install a gfci at the panel on long runs as it will causes problems
Can you install a dead front gfci at the end of the run But since its on a gfci, if the frame provides a decent path back to the panel, that's a separate neutral path and will cause the gfci to trip Removing the jumper removes the safety bonding from the dryer frame, but the gfci should save a person when being shocked by tripping Best solution is to install a proper 4 wire circuit.
The 5ma sensitivity gfci (which is good for personnel protection) was still causing nuisance tripping Would it be acceptable by nec to use a 30ma sensitivity (equipment protection) gfci breaker for this food warming equipment? Gfci circuit breakers have a separate terminal for the neutral wire which must be run with the hot wire. I assume this has been discussed already in this forum but i wasn't able to find a recent thread
We recently rewired a kitchen including a 50a gfci circuit to a miele induction range
The gfci false trips are vehicle dependent and condition dependent) The protections from an evse have the same goal as a nec gfci Anyone wanting a deep dive into evse could pony up for some light reading Ul 2251 standard for plugs, receptacles and couplers for electric vehicles
Many homes a few years old used a gfci outlet as a laundry outlet, ending in the washer outlet Do you mean dual function breaker If so how would that solve a gfci tripping issue A df breaker is a gfci with afci protection
If you are installing a gfci receptacle maybe the brand of gfci you are using is not liking something about the machine?
It's a cutler hammer panelboard that utilizes bolt on circuit breakers To my knowledge there is no gfci circuit breaker to accommodate this panel
