Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the difference between a GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
A Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) trips at a 30mA threshold to protect equipment like heat trace cables and pumps from damaging ground faults. A standard Class A GFCI breaker trips at 5mA to provide personnel protection.
Which electrical panels are compatible with the QBHGFEP1015?
This bolt-on breaker is designed to fit vintage Commander, CEB, and Sylvania bolt-on panelboards. These panels typically have a B or BC prefix in their catalog numbers.
Can I use this QBH breaker in a standard Eaton BAB panel?
No. QBH series breakers have a narrower 0.75 inch per pole form factor and a specific 90 degree bolt-on mounting clip designed for legacy Commander, CEB, and Sylvania panels. Standard Eaton BAB panels require 1 inch wide breakers.
What applications require a 30mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers are typically used for commercial and industrial equipment protection where a 5mA GFCI would cause nuisance tripping. Common applications include heat trace systems, snow melting equipment, outdoor pumps, and HVAC units.
How is the neutral connection wired on the QBHGFEP1015?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panelboard to power the internal ground fault circuitry.
Is the QBHGFEP1015 a direct replacement for older CEB or Sylvania GFEP breakers?
Yes. Eaton manufactures the QBH series as the direct, UL listed replacement for legacy CEB, Sylvania, and Commander bolt-on breakers with the same form factor and specifications.
What does the 22kAIC rating indicate for this breaker?
The 22kAIC rating means the breaker can safely interrupt up to 22,000 amps of fault current at 120VAC without sustaining internal damage or causing an arc flash hazard. This high interrupting capacity is often required in commercial installations.
