Description

Part of the Quicklag family, the Eaton QCGFEP2020 provides 20A of dedicated ground fault equipment protection. Unlike standard 5mA personnel GFCIs, this 30mA GFEP breaker is specifically calibrated to prevent nuisance tripping on industrial equipment, heat traces, and heavy motor loads. The 2-pole breaker utilizes a cable-in/cable-out panel mount design for seamless integration into Eaton Quicklag enclosures. It delivers a 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 120/240VAC and is fully HACR rated.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What panels accept the Eaton QCGFEP2020 circuit breaker?

This Quicklag QC frame breaker is designed for cable-in/cable-out installation in Eaton Quicklag panelboards and Quicklag enclosures. It is not compatible with standard plug-on residential load centers.

Why use a 30mA GFEP breaker instead of a standard 5mA GFCI?

The QCGFEP2020 provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold. This higher tolerance prevents nuisance tripping on heat trace cables, industrial machinery, and heavy motor loads, whereas a 5mA GFCI is strictly calibrated for personnel protection.

Does the QCGFEP2020 require a dedicated neutral connection?

Yes, this breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus. This connection is required to power the internal ground fault sensing circuitry.

What wire sizes are supported by the lugs on this breaker?

The box lug terminals accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG wire and are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.

What specific fault conditions does the QCGFEP2020 protect against?

It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous functions to clear overloads and short circuits, combined with a 30mA ground fault sensor to protect equipment from damaging leakage currents.

Is this breaker rated for heating and cooling equipment?

Yes, the QCGFEP2020 is HACR rated, making it fully compliant for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems that require a 20A equipment protection circuit.

    GREAT , QUICK SERVICE...Best prices anywhere.

    The best prices anywhere.

    Unfortunately, I think that the breaker that was shipped to me is defective. It has a very sensitive neutral element on panel side lead and trips when breaker is energized.

    I tried it on another circuit and does the same. existing breakers checked and installed in slot for new breaker and they function normally.

    it's not beyond the realm of possibly that it was a factory defect.

    I will be calling soon to speak with a technician.

    Great price for these QCGFEP mini breakers

    If you work in the Marina Maintenance field or do electrical work for a Marina/Harbor with Eaton marine shore power chances are you have encountered these mini breakers. Superbreakers had a great price for these QCGFEP mini breakers.
