Built for residential and commercial applications, the Eaton BRN230GF provides 30A of thermal-magnetic and ground fault protection. This two-pole GFCI breaker features a pigtail neutral and meets NEC safety requirements for wet locations. It mounts into standard Eaton Type BR load centers, meter breakers, and spa panels, serving as an exact upgrade for the legacy GFTCB230. Rated at 10 kAIC, it includes 5mA trip sensitivity, self-test functionality, and a visual LED trip indicator.
What is the current replacement for the older Cutler-Hammer GFCB230 breaker?
The Eaton BRN230GF is the direct replacement for the obsolete GFCB230 and GFTCB230 30-amp GFCI breakers.
What is the ground-fault trip sensitivity of the BRN230GF?
This is a Class A GFCI breaker designed for personnel protection, meaning it operates with a 5mA ground-fault trip threshold.
Which load centers accept the BRN230GF breaker?
This breaker is compatible with Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also backwards compatible with legacy Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse panels that utilize standard Type BR breakers.
Does this breaker require a Plug-On Neutral (PON) panel?
No, the BRN230GF is equipped with a pigtail neutral. It installs in traditional load centers by routing and connecting the integrated white curly wire directly to the panel's neutral bus bar.
Does the BRN230GF provide standard overload protection in addition to ground-fault detection?
Yes, it utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology to protect against standard overcurrents and short circuits, while the internal electronics simultaneously monitor for 5mA ground faults.
Can I use this breaker for equipment protection circuits requiring a 30mA trip?
No, the BRN230GF is a 5mA personnel protection GFCI. Circuits requiring 30mA equipment protection (GFEP) require a different breaker class, such as an Eaton breaker with an EP suffix.
