    30amp GFCI to 50amp GFCI
    I have a square D panel box with 200 amp service coming into the house.

    I have a square D 30 amp double pole gfci breaker that was put in last year for a hot tub. I am now getting a new hot tub, and it requires a 50amp gfci breaker.

    The 30amp currently in place says type/tipo HOM. It is wired from the panel to an outdoor shut off breaker box, then on to the hot tub.

    Question is... can I simply switch out the 30amp with a new 50amp gfci and be all set? Or is there some new type of wire that needs to be run?

    Thanks.
