Built for commercial and industrial applications, the QB1015EP is a 1-pole, 15A bolt-on circuit breaker from Eaton's Quicklag family. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent defense combined with 30mA ground fault equipment protection (GFEP), safeguarding machinery from damaging line-to-ground faults. This unit installs into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards and serves as a direct replacement for the legacy QBGFEP1015. Rated at 10 kAIC, it includes a pigtail neutral and is HACR rated.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The Eaton QB1015EP is a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) calibrated to trip at a 30mA threshold. Standard Class A GFCI breakers trip at 5mA for personnel protection. This GFEP breaker is designed to protect machinery, heat trace cables, and equipment from damaging line-to-ground faults while preventing nuisance tripping.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QB1015EP circuit breaker?
This bolt-on miniature circuit breaker is designed for use in Eaton Cutler-Hammer Pow-R-Line panelboards that accept Quicklag QB or BAB frame breakers.
Can I install this QB breaker in a standard residential load center?
No. The QB1015EP is a commercial-grade bolt-on breaker designed for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers like Eaton BR or CH series panels.
How is the neutral connection wired on the QB1015EP?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panelboard neutral bar, while the load neutral wire connects to the designated neutral terminal on the breaker itself.
What applications are suitable for a 30mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers like the QB1015EP are typically used for commercial and industrial applications where equipment protection is required. Common uses include heat trace systems, snow melting equipment, outdoor pumps, and HVAC machinery.
Can I use the QB1015EP to replace an older QBGFEP1015?
Yes, the QB1015EP serves as a direct replacement for the legacy Cutler-Hammer QBGFEP1015 catalog number. Both provide 15A, 1-pole, 30mA ground fault equipment protection.
