Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The Eaton QPGFEP1020 is a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) with a 30mA trip sensitivity, designed to protect equipment like heat tracing and pumps. Standard GFCI breakers have a 5mA trip sensitivity intended for personnel protection. Using a 30mA GFEP prevents nuisance tripping on industrial equipment while still providing ground fault protection.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QPGFEP1020 circuit breaker?
This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton Quicklag panelboards that accept Type QP miniature circuit breakers. It is not compatible with bolt-on or cable-in/cable-out load centers.
How is the neutral connected on the Eaton QPGFEP1020?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar for the ground fault sensing circuitry to function properly.
What does the LIG trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LIG designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (thermal overload) and Instantaneous (magnetic short-circuit) protection, along with the integrated Ground Fault equipment protection.
Does Eaton offer a bolt-on version of this 20A GFEP breaker?
Yes, if your panelboard requires a bolt-on connection rather than a plug-on connection, you will need the Eaton QBGFEP1020.
Is there a version of this breaker with a higher interrupting rating?
Yes, the Eaton QPHGFEP1020 offers the same 20A, 30mA ground fault equipment protection but features a higher 22kAIC interrupting rating compared to the 10kAIC rating of the standard QPGFEP1020.
How often should the ground fault protection on the QPGFEP1020 be tested?
Eaton recommends testing the ground fault function monthly. Press the test button on the front of the breaker to ensure it trips properly, verifying that the equipment protection circuitry is functioning.
