Description
Providing 30mA ground fault sensitivity, this 30A equipment protection breaker is tailored for industrial applications. It monitors circuits to detect leakage currents that could harm sensitive machinery. The breaker features a robust bolt-on mounting mechanism engineered for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. It utilizes standard load side lugs for 14-4 AWG wire. With a 22 kAIC rating at 120/240V, the non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit ensures reliable overcurrent defense.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the QBHGFEP2030 breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is engineered for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards that accept BAB or QB frame types. It is designed for commercial and industrial distribution and will not fit standard plug-on residential load centers.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity for this GFEP breaker?
The QBHGFEP2030 features a 30mA ground fault trip sensitivity. This level is specifically calibrated for equipment protection (GFEP) to prevent damage to machinery, distinguishing it from standard GFCI breakers that use a 5mA threshold for personnel protection.
How is the neutral connection handled on the QBHGFEP2030?
This breaker is equipped with a pigtail neutral wire. To ensure the ground fault equipment protection circuitry functions correctly, this pigtail must be terminated directly to the neutral bar in the panelboard.
What does the "H" signify in the QBHGFEP2030 catalog number?
The "H" designates a high-interrupting capacity. This model delivers a 22 kAIC rating at 120/240V, making it suitable for electrical systems with higher available fault currents compared to standard 10 kAIC breakers in the Quicklag family.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load side lugs?
The load side terminals are designed to accommodate 14 AWG to 4 AWG wire. Always verify that the selected wire gauge meets the 30A circuit requirements and apply the manufacturer-specified torque during installation.
