Product FAQs
5 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the BRN130EP?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Bryant Type BR load centers that accept plug-on breakers.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for the BRN130EP?
As a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP), it features a 30mA trip sensitivity. This is designed to protect equipment like heat trace cables and machinery, rather than providing the 5mA personnel protection of a Class A GFCI.
How is the neutral connection made on the BRN130EP?
This breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to complete the ground fault monitoring circuit.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI?
A GFEP (Ground Fault Equipment Protector) trips at a 30mA threshold to prevent damage to equipment from low-level faults. A standard Class A GFCI trips at 5mA to protect personnel from electric shock.
What is the advantage of the BRN frame design?
The BRN frame features a compact, short-body design. This smaller footprint maximizes gutter space inside the load center, making it easier to route and manage wires during installation.
