- 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.
