Product FAQs
8 answersCan I install the Eaton GFCB230 in a Challenger or Bryant load center?
Yes. The Eaton BR family of breakers, including the GFCB230, is UL listed for use in Eaton BR, Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse load centers.
How is the neutral connection made on the GFCB230?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white wire must be connected directly to the neutral bar in your load center for the ground fault protection to function correctly.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for this breaker?
The GFCB230 is a Class A GFCI breaker, meaning it has a ground fault trip threshold of 5mA to provide personnel protection against electrical shock.
What wire sizes are compatible with the box lugs on this 30A GFCI breaker?
The box lugs accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG copper or aluminum wire. Ensure you torque the connections to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker label.
Does this breaker replace older Westinghouse or Bryant GFCB230 models?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Bryant and Westinghouse breaker lines. The Eaton GFCB230 is the direct, UL approved replacement for legacy Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse GFCB230 breakers.
How do I test the ground fault protection on the GFCB230?
Once installed and powered, press the white TEST button on the front of the breaker. The breaker should trip immediately, indicating the ground fault circuitry is working properly.
Is this breaker rated for 120V or 240V circuits?
The GFCB230 is a 2 pole breaker rated for 120/240VAC applications. It is suitable for 240V loads or multi-wire branch circuits requiring ground fault protection.
Will this plug-on breaker fit in an Eaton CH series panel?
No. The GFCB230 is a 1 inch wide BR frame breaker. It is not compatible with Eaton CH series load centers, which require 3/4 inch wide CH type breakers.
