Subscription Application
    426.28 Equipment Protection. Ground-fault protection of
    equipment shall be provided for fixed outdoor electric deicing
    and snow-melting equipment, except for equipment
    that employs mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed cable embedded
    in a noncombustible medium.


    Section 426.28 was revised for the 1999 Code to require ground-fault protection of
    equipment for fixed outdoor electric deicing and snow-melting equipment. Rather than
    protecting the entire branch circuit, the ground-fault protection requirement is focused
    on protecting just the equipment itself. This affords the manufacturer and the user an
    option of providing both circuit and equipment protection, or just the required
    equipment protection. This required protection for fixed outdoor deicing and snowmelting
    equipment may be accomplished by using circuit breakers equipped with
    ground-fault equipment protection (GFEP) or an integral device supplied as part of the
    deicing or snow-melting equipment that is sensitive to leakage currents in the
    magnitude of 6 milliamperes to 50 milliamperes [referred to by UL as ground-fault
    equipment protection circuit interrupters (GFEPCIs)]. These protection devices, if
    applied properly, will substantially reduce the risk of a fire being started by low-level
    electrical arcing.
    It is important to understand that this required equipment protection is not the same as
    a GFCI used for personal protection that trips at 5 milliamperes (±1 milliampere).
    For further information regarding ground-fault equipment protection used to comply
    with 426.28 and 427.22, refer to the UL General Information for Electrical Equipment
    Directory (White Book), category KCZI.

    Warning from a major manufacturer of  snow- melting equipment:

    WARNING — A ground fault protection device is required by NEC to minimize the danger of fire
    if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed. A minimum trip level of 30 mA is
    recommended to minimize nuisance tripping.  Suggested breakers with 30 mA ground fault trip
    levels are:
    • 120V Single Pole Westinghouse GFEPD, Square D QO, EPD Style
    • 120/240V Single Pole Westinghouse GFEPD, Square D QO, EPD Style.
It is that time of year again.
