Description
Engineered for heavy-duty applications, the Eaton QPGFEP2030 provides 30-amp, two-pole circuit protection with integrated 30mA ground fault equipment sensing. This prevents costly damage to heat tracing, pumps, and commercial machinery without the nuisance tripping associated with 5mA personnel GFCIs. This unit installs into Eaton Quicklag panelboards via a standard plug-on connection. It comes equipped with a pigtail neutral and box lug terminals. Carries a 10 kAIC rating at 120/240VAC.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards accept the QPGFEP2030 breaker?
This plug-on breaker is designed specifically for Eaton Quicklag panelboards. It is not intended for standard residential load centers.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI?
The QPGFEP2030 is a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) designed to protect commercial machinery and equipment from damage. It does not provide the highly sensitive Class A personnel protection found in standard GFCI breakers.
What does the LIG trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LIG designation indicates that the breaker provides Long-Time overload protection, Instantaneous short circuit protection, and Ground Fault equipment protection.
How do I wire the neutral connection for the QPGFEP2030?
This breaker includes a factory-installed pigtail neutral. The pigtail must be routed and secured to the neutral bus bar in the panelboard for the ground fault sensing circuitry to function correctly.
Can I use this Eaton breaker to replace an older Cutler-Hammer QPGFEP2030?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and they maintain the same Quicklag product lines and catalog numbers. This breaker is a direct replacement for the legacy Cutler-Hammer version.
Is this breaker suitable for heat trace circuits?
Yes. Ground Fault Equipment Protectors (GFEP) are frequently required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for electric heat tracing and snow melting equipment to prevent fire hazards while avoiding nuisance tripping.
