Eaton / Cutler-Hammer GFTCB130 GFCI Miniature Circuit Breaker

This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton BR load centers. It is also backward compatible with legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, Bryant, and Novaline panels that accept Type BR breakers.

The GFTCB130 features a 5mA trip sensitivity, classifying it as a Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for personnel protection in wet locations.

This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar, while the load neutral wire connects directly to the designated neutral terminal on the breaker.

Yes. Because it is a 1-pole GFCI breaker, the circuit it protects cannot share a neutral wire with another circuit. A shared neutral will cause the breaker to trip immediately upon sensing an imbalance.

Yes, the GFTCB130 serves as a direct replacement for the older Cutler-Hammer GFCB130 model.

No, the GFTCB130 is strictly a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). It does not provide arc fault protection. If your application requires both, you will need a dual-function AFCI/GFCI breaker.

The terminal lugs on the GFTCB130 accept copper or aluminum wiring ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Always verify the appropriate wire gauge for your specific 30A application based on local electrical codes.

Yes, this breaker includes self-test functionality to ensure ongoing safety compliance. It periodically runs an internal diagnostic to verify that the ground fault detection circuitry is functioning properly.
