Description
Built for commercial applications, the Eaton QBGFEP1030 is a 1-pole, 30A miniature circuit breaker. It features a 30mA trip sensitivity designed specifically for equipment protection rather than personnel safety, making it ideal for heat trace cables and machinery. This bolt-on breaker mounts into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. It accepts 14-4 AWG wire via standard box lugs and includes load side lugs. With a 10kAIC rating at 120VAC, this thermal-magnetic unit is HACR rated.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the QBGFEP1030?
This Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker features a 30 mA trip sensitivity. It is designed to protect equipment from damaging line-to-ground faults rather than providing Class A personnel protection.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QBGFEP1030?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, including the PRL1a, PRL2a, and PRL3a series that accept BAB-frame or Quicklag bolt-on breakers.
Can the QBGFEP1030 be used to meet NEC requirements for personnel ground fault protection?
No. The QBGFEP1030 is a GFEP device with a 30 mA trip threshold. It does not provide the 5 mA Class A GFCI protection required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for personnel safety in locations like bathrooms, kitchens, or pools.
What are common applications for a 30 mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers are typically installed to protect heat trace cables, snow-melting equipment, and outdoor de-icing systems. The 30 mA threshold prevents nuisance tripping that often occurs with 5 mA GFCIs in these applications.
How is the neutral connection made when installing the QBGFEP1030?
The breaker is equipped with a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bar in the panelboard to ensure proper operation of the ground fault sensing circuitry.
Can the QBGFEP1030 be installed in a standard residential load center?
No. The QBGFEP1030 features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for commercial Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. It cannot be used in residential load centers that require plug-on breakers.
Does the QBGFEP1030 provide standard overcurrent protection?
Yes. In addition to ground fault equipment protection, it utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit to provide standard long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) protection for the branch circuit.
