Description
Rated for 30A at 120/240V, this 2-pole GFPE breaker safeguards commercial and residential machinery against line-to-ground fault currents. It utilizes a 30mA trip threshold to provide robust equipment-level protection rather than personnel safety. This unit mounts into Leviton load centers using an innovative all plug-on design. Because panel wiring terminates at custom lugs, the breaker simply snaps onto the busbar.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the Leviton LB230-EP?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Leviton Load Centers.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for the LB230EP?
As a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker, it is designed to trip at a 30mA ground fault threshold to protect equipment, rather than the 5mA threshold used for personnel protection (GFCI).
Does the LB230-EP require a pigtail wire for the neutral connection?
No. It features a plug-on neutral design that connects directly to the neutral bar in Leviton panels, eliminating the need for a pigtail wire.
Can I wire the load center before installing this breaker?
Yes. Leviton's plug-on design allows the entire load center to be wired at rough-in without the circuit breakers present. The LB230EP simply plugs in during final installation.
How does the hydraulic magnetic trip technology benefit the LB230EP?
Hydraulic magnetic technology ensures the breaker operates reliably and maintains its precise trip characteristics in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 185 degrees F without requiring derating.
How do I know why the LB230-EP tripped?
The breaker features intuitive LED indicators that remain illuminated even when tripped, allowing you to quickly identify the operational status and the specific type of fault condition.
What applications typically require a 30mA GFEP breaker like the LB230EP?
GFEP breakers are commonly used for heat tracing, snow melting equipment, and other applications where equipment protection against low-level ground faults is required, but a 5mA GFCI would cause nuisance tripping.
