Description
Built for commercial and residential use, the CH230EPD provides 30mA ground fault equipment protection (GFEP). This 30-amp, two-pole breaker operates on 120/240V systems, utilizing thermal-magnetic technology to clear overloads. This plug-on breaker mounts into Eaton CH load centers, occupying two 3/4-inch spaces. It features a pigtail neutral wire that connects to the panel to enable ground fault sensing. Rated at 10 kAIC, it prevents nuisance tripping on snow melting mats and pumps.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWill the Eaton CH230EPD fit in a BR series load center?
No, the CH230EPD is designed exclusively for Eaton Type CH load centers. It utilizes a 3/4-inch per pole format, whereas BR series breakers require 1-inch spaces.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The CH230EPD is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold. Standard Class A GFCI breakers trip at 5mA. The 30mA rating is designed to protect machinery, heat trace cables, and well pumps from equipment damage while preventing nuisance tripping.
How much panel space does the CH230EPD require?
This 2-pole miniature circuit breaker requires two 3/4-inch spaces in an Eaton Type CH panelboard.
How do I connect the neutral on the CH230EPD?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The attached white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in your load center for the ground fault sensing circuitry to function properly.
What applications are best suited for a 30mA equipment protection breaker?
GFEP breakers like the CH230EPD are ideal for safeguarding industrial equipment, snow melting mats, and heat tracing circuits where minor current leakage is normal and a standard 5mA GFCI would cause nuisance tripping.
Can I use the CH230EPD for personnel protection?
No. Because this breaker has a 30mA trip threshold, it is classified for equipment protection only. For personnel protection, a Class A GFCI breaker with a 5mA trip threshold, such as the CH230GFI, is required.

- CSChristine S.Verified BuyerReviewingEaton / Cutler-Hammer CH2100-LONG - 100A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/18/26Got a great refurbished breaker - saved a $6500 Service Replacement
When our main breaker frizzed out, the option we were presented with was replacing the entire panel and service due to the type and part - no longer produced for replacement parts. It would be a $6500 replacement.
We'll likely have to do it at some point but, for now, the replacement breaker we were able to source from Superbreakers (with a $25 warranty) was $5900 less expensive. installation ran a few hundred dollars and the tech said the part looked to be in excellent condition and was prepped for install as he would have hoped.
Very thankful for SuperBreakers!
