20A GFEP Miniature Circuit Breaker
Description
Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, this 20A single-pole breaker provides 30mA ground fault equipment protection (GFEP). It mounts securely into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards using a bolt-on connection, ensuring a stable fit for critical loads. Featuring a high interrupting capacity of 22kAIC at 120VAC, the thermal-magnetic unit prevents equipment damage from sustained ground faults while avoiding nuisance tripping associated with 5mA personnel-level devices.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the QBHGFEP1020?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Pow-R-Line panelboards, including the PRL1a and PRL2a series, that accept Quicklag BAB or QB frame breakers.
Will the QBHGFEP1020 fit in a standard residential load center?
No. This is a bolt-on breaker engineered specifically for commercial and industrial Pow-R-Line panelboards. It is not compatible with plug-on residential load centers like the Eaton BR or CH series.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the QBHGFEP1020?
This Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) features a 30mA trip sensitivity. It is calibrated to protect machinery and heat trace cables from equipment-damaging ground faults, rather than providing 5mA personnel protection.
Is the QBHGFEP1020 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires 30mA ground fault equipment protection.
How is the neutral connection established for the QBHGFEP1020?
This breaker includes a factory-installed pigtail neutral wire. During installation, the pigtail must be routed and secured to the neutral bar in the panelboard to power the internal ground fault circuitry.
What is the difference between the QBGFEP1020 and the QBHGFEP1020?
The "H" in the QBHGFEP1020 catalog number designates a high interrupting capacity. The QBHGFEP1020 provides a 22kAIC rating at 120V, while the standard QBGFEP1020 is rated for 10kAIC.
Can the QBHGFEP1020 be used to meet NEC requirements for personnel GFCI protection?
No. The QBHGFEP1020 is an equipment protection device with a 30mA trip level. It cannot be used in place of a Class A GFCI, which has a 5mA trip level, for applications requiring personnel protection such as bathrooms, kitchens, or swimming pools.
