    240 volt GFIC Circuit for garage
    I would like to put a 240 volt circuit into my garage but have limited breaker capacity left for slots. I think I would like to use a quad breaker to provide the 240 and two other 120 volt circuits for elsewhere in my house.

    Can I get a 240 volt GFIC outlet? Will it match with a 240 volt table saw? Does that need a 10/3-wg wire?

    If I run two 120 volt circuits off the lead into the box,

    10/3 will support a 30 amp circuit. What does your saw use?

    240V GFICs breakers are available, but I haven't seen any outlets with that capability.

    Rather than volts, you should be thinking amps.

    The 240 volt outlet in the garage does not need to be GFI protected.You may if desired,but only the breaker style is available.
