Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the difference between this EPD breaker and a standard GFCI?
The CH250EPD is an Equipment Protection Device (EPD) with a 30mA ground fault trip threshold. Standard Class A GFCI breakers have a 5mA threshold for personnel protection. EPD breakers are used to prevent equipment damage while avoiding nuisance tripping.
What applications typically require a 50A EPD breaker?
A 30mA equipment protection device is commonly installed for heat tracing cables, snow melting equipment, and certain industrial machinery where minor leakage current is normal but protection against larger ground faults is necessary.
Will the CH250EPD fit in an Eaton BR load center?
No. This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton CH series load centers, which use a 3/4-inch pole spacing. Eaton BR panels require breakers with a 1-inch pole spacing.
Can I install this breaker in an older Cutler-Hammer panel?
Yes, Eaton CH breakers are fully backward compatible with legacy Cutler-Hammer CH series load centers.
How does the pigtail neutral function on this breaker?
The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar. This connection powers the internal ground fault monitoring circuitry, even if the 240V load does not require a neutral wire.
How much panel space does the CH250EPD require?
This two-pole breaker requires two standard 3/4-inch spaces in a CH series load center.

- CSChristine S.Verified BuyerReviewingEaton / Cutler-Hammer CH2100-LONG - 100A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/18/26Got a great refurbished breaker - saved a $6500 Service Replacement
When our main breaker frizzed out, the option we were presented with was replacing the entire panel and service due to the type and part - no longer produced for replacement parts. It would be a $6500 replacement.
We'll likely have to do it at some point but, for now, the replacement breaker we were able to source from Superbreakers (with a $25 warranty) was $5900 less expensive. installation ran a few hundred dollars and the tech said the part looked to be in excellent condition and was prepped for install as he would have hoped.
Very thankful for SuperBreakers!
