can you tell any one that POT cabins Electrical Panels Branch circuits shall be equipped ground fault circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
If there is any Electrical or safety standard related to this query please share it.
Thanks

Hi mshuaibh,

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a POT cabin?

Best to you,

With recent legislation in Washington state and Colorado, I'm afraid to ask.

The ambiance of the Plane Of Tranquility benefits greatly from the protection afforded by a good GFCI.
Be aware that in some jurisdictions a POT cabin may be subject to search and seizure despite the protection of GFCIs.

Acronyms can be so fun...

Are you maybe referring to Portable Operator Terminals in Building Automation Systems? I've seen that term used by Siemens Building Technologies and Honeywell to describe a portable PC with BAS software installed, so that their technicians can plug into a BAS network at any point to trouble shoot it. I'm not sure how the term "cabin" would come into it however. A translation issue perhaps intended to mean a booth or something?

If so, and if by "GFCI" you are referring to a Class A Personnel Protection Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter as defined in the US National Electric Code, then the only time you might need a GFCI for a plug-in outlet is if it is in a wet (or potentially wet) environment such as a kitchen or bathroom, of if it is outdoors. The only time you need a GFCI on hard-wired equipment is if it is a swimming pool / spa or if it is a circus / carnival / amusement ride.

If you were not intending to discuss a Class A GFCI as defined in the US, then you should not use that terminology, it is very specific (despite the assertions found on Wikipedia). A Class A GFCI is set to trip at no more than 6mA, which is far more sensitive than the different levels of RCD systems sold in the rest of the world, or what we call "EQUIPMENT" ground fault protection.

POT using be Plain Old Telephone (System), and in the aluminium smelting industry it is something entirely different.

The OP's question really is pointless without context.

I thought it was a trailer filled with equipment for the Pre-Operational Testing team. If the power from that panel goes out into the plant, it should have GFCI protection.

(BTW -A Washington State Public Utility District just recieved a request to supply 25 MW to a new, legal, pot growing facility. The PUD's previous maximum total system demand was 91 MW. It's a nice high demand factor load).
