Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the ground fault trip sensitivity for the QCGFEP2030?
This Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker has a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect equipment like heat trace cables and pumps from damaging ground faults without the nuisance tripping associated with 5mA personnel protectors.
Can I use this GFEP breaker for personnel protection in bathrooms or kitchens?
No. The QCGFEP2030 is an equipment protection breaker with a 30mA trip level. It does not provide the 5mA Class A personnel protection required by the NEC for receptacles in bathrooms, kitchens, or similar locations.
How does the QCGFEP2030 connect to the circuit?
This QC frame breaker utilizes a cable-in/cable-out connection type. It mounts by snapping into a dedicated QC mounting base plate and is secured with screws.
How is the neutral connection handled on this breaker?
It features a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bar in the panelboard to ensure proper ground fault detection.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QCGFEP2030?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Quicklag panelboards and Quicklag enclosures that accept QC frame cable-in/cable-out breakers.
Is the QCGFEP2030 interchangeable with standard plug-on breakers?
No. The QC series uses a specific cable-in/cable-out mounting style and is non-interchangeable with standard plug-on or bolt-on breakers like the Eaton BR or BAB series.
What does the LIG trip function code indicate on this breaker?
The LIG designation means this thermal magnetic breaker includes Long-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground Fault trip functions. Long-Time handles standard overloads, Instantaneous responds to short circuits, and Ground Fault provides 30mA equipment protection.

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.

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.
