Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the QPGFEP2020 circuit breaker?
The Eaton QPGFEP2020 is designed for use in Eaton Quicklag panelboards. It features a plug-on mounting style specific to the Quicklag family of commercial and industrial panels.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the QPGFEP2020?
As a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP), this breaker is calibrated to trip at a 30mA threshold. This protects machinery and equipment from damaging line-to-ground faults, unlike Class A GFCI breakers which trip at 5mA for personnel protection.
How is the neutral connection wired on the QPGFEP2020?
This breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar. This connection is required to power the internal ground fault sensing circuitry.
What types of applications require a 30mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers like the QPGFEP2020 are commonly used for commercial and industrial applications where equipment protection is required. Typical installations include heat trace cables, snow melting equipment, well pumps, and HVAC machinery.
Can the QPGFEP2020 be used to protect standard 120V receptacles?
No. This is a 30mA equipment protection breaker, which does not meet the 5mA personnel protection requirements for standard receptacles in wet locations. It is also a 2-pole breaker designed for 240V or 120/240V circuits.
What protection functions are included in the QPGFEP2020 trip unit?
This thermal-magnetic breaker provides Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions for standard overload and short-circuit protection, plus an integrated Ground Fault (G) sensor for equipment protection.
