Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards accept the QPGFEP2050 breaker?
This plug-on breaker is engineered for Eaton Quicklag panelboards, including commercial Pow-R-Line series panels configured for Type QP branch breakers.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI?
The QPGFEP2050 provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection with a 30mA trip threshold to prevent damage to machinery. Standard GFCI breakers trip at 5mA for personnel protection.
What applications are best suited for a 30mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers are commonly installed for heat trace cables, snow melting equipment, and dedicated industrial machinery where standard 5mA personnel protection would cause nuisance tripping.
How do I connect the neutral for this equipment protection breaker?
This unit features a pigtail neutral design. You must connect the attached white pigtail wire directly to the panelboard neutral bar to enable the ground fault sensing circuitry.
Can the QPGFEP2050 be installed in standard residential loadcenters?
Although it shares a similar 1-inch per pole width with residential BR frame breakers, the QPGFEP series features a specific plug-on mounting clip designed exclusively for commercial Eaton Quicklag panelboards.
Does the QPGFEP2050 require regular testing?
Yes, this breaker includes a built-in test button. It is recommended to test the ground fault circuitry monthly to ensure the equipment protection features are functioning correctly.
