Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the GFCB250?
This breaker is designed for use in 1-inch Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also backward compatible with legacy Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger panels that accept Type BR breakers.
Can I install the GFCB250 in a Square D or Eaton CH panel?
No. The GFCB250 is a 1-inch Type BR breaker and will not fit in 3/4-inch Eaton CH panels or Square D load centers.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for this breaker?
The GFCB250 provides Class A ground fault protection, meaning it is designed to trip when it detects a ground fault current of 5mA. This meets NEC requirements for personnel protection in wet or damp locations like pools and hot tubs.
How is the neutral connected on the GFCB250?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire. The coiled white pigtail must be connected directly to the panel's neutral bus bar for the GFCI circuitry to function properly.
Does this breaker require two panel spaces?
Yes, as a 2-pole breaker, the GFCB250 requires two standard 1-inch spaces in a Type BR load center.
Does the GFCB250 replace older Bryant or Westinghouse GFCI breakers?
Yes, Eaton acquired these brands, and the GFCB250 serves as a direct, UL listed replacement for older 50A 2-pole Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger Type BR GFCI breakers.
What applications typically require a 50A 2-pole GFCI breaker?
A 50A 2-pole GFCI is commonly used for 240V circuits requiring personnel protection, such as hot tubs, spas, pools, and EV chargers where local codes mandate GFCI protection at the breaker.

Was having a hard time finding this particular breaker, and when we did the price was ridiculous. at SuperBreaker the price was considerably less and received it in 2 days so we could install it and make a customer happy they could use their spa again.

Need to replace a breaker on my Spa. Found this company when searching for a replacement breaker and I’m so glad I did. Found the same breaker at a good price and it was sent to me in a couple of days. Thank you very much!
