Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the QBGFEP1020?

This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards that accept Quicklag branch breakers, including PRL1a, PRL2a, and PRL3a models.

Is the QBGFEP1020 rated for personnel protection (Class A GFCI)?

No. This breaker is rated for Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) and has a 30mA trip threshold. It is strictly designed to protect equipment like heat trace cables from damaging ground faults, not for the 5mA personnel protection required by Class A GFCI devices.

How does the neutral connect on the QBGFEP1020?

The breaker includes a pre-attached pigtail neutral wire. This pigtail must be landed directly on the panelboard's neutral bus to power the internal ground fault detection circuitry.

What do the letters in the QBGFEP1020 catalog number stand for?

The prefix QB designates a Quicklag bolt-on breaker, GFEP stands for Ground Fault Equipment Protection with a 30mA threshold, 1 indicates it is a 1-pole breaker, and 020 specifies the 20-amp rating.

Are the trip settings adjustable on this breaker?

No. The thermal-magnetic elements feature fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The 30mA ground fault sensitivity is also factory-set and cannot be adjusted.

Is there a 2-pole version of this breaker for 240V equipment?

Yes. If you need a 2-pole GFEP breaker for 240V or 120/240V circuits, you will need the Eaton QBGFEP2020. The 1-pole QBGFEP1020 is strictly for 120VAC applications.
