Description
Built for commercial applications, the Eaton GFEP115 provides 30mA ground fault equipment protection. This 15A single-pole breaker is calibrated to protect heat trace cables and machinery without nuisance tripping. Featuring a pigtail neutral, this plug-on breaker installs into Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type BR load centers. It serves as the traditional replacement for older panels, eventually replaced by the BRN115EP. Rated 10 kAIC at 120VAC, it includes a visual trip indicator.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the GFEP115 circuit breaker?
The GFEP115 is a Type BR breaker designed for use in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Bryant Type BR load centers. It cannot be installed in Type CH panels, which require a different mounting style.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity for the GFEP115?
This breaker features a 30mA ground fault trip sensitivity. It provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) to prevent equipment damage, rather than the 5mA sensitivity required for personnel protection.
Is the GFEP115 interchangeable with a GFCB115 breaker?
No. While both are 15-amp Type BR breakers, the GFEP115 is for equipment protection with a 30mA trip threshold. The GFCB115 is a GFCI breaker with a 5mA trip threshold for personnel protection. They serve different code requirements and cannot be swapped if personnel protection is mandated.
How do I connect the neutral on the GFEP115?
The GFEP115 uses a pigtail neutral connection. You must route the attached white pigtail wire to the neutral bus bar in your panel to power the internal ground fault circuitry and ensure proper operation.
What applications typically require a 30mA GFEP breaker like the GFEP115?
GFEP breakers are commonly installed to protect equipment from damaging line-to-ground faults where a standard 5mA GFCI might experience nuisance tripping. Typical applications include heat trace cables, snow melting equipment, and specific industrial machinery.
