Built for extreme environments, the LB220EP utilizes hydraulic magnetic trip technology to operate reliably from -40°C to 85°C without re-rating. This 20A, 2-pole breaker delivers 30mA ground-fault equipment protection (GFPE) to shield machinery from damaging fault currents. Designed exclusively for Leviton load centers, it features an all plug-on installation. Since hot and neutral wires terminate at the panel's custom lugs, the breaker easily snaps into place.
What panels are compatible with the Leviton LB220-EP circuit breaker?
The LB220-EP is designed exclusively for use in Leviton Load Centers. It features an all plug-on design that connects directly to the panel busbar and plug-on neutral system.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The LB220-EP is a Ground Fault Protection of Equipment (GFEP) breaker, which trips at a 30mA threshold to protect equipment such as heat tracing or snow melting systems. Standard GFCI breakers trip at a 5mA threshold for personnel protection.
Do I connect the circuit wires directly to the LB220-EP breaker?
No. In Leviton Load Centers, all hot and neutral wires terminate at custom lugs in the panel itself, not on the breaker. This allows the entire panel to be wired at rough-in before the plug-on breakers are installed.
How can I tell why the LB220-EP breaker tripped?
This breaker features built-in LED indicators that communicate the trip condition and the specific type of fault. The LEDs remain illuminated even when the breaker is in the tripped position to simplify diagnostics.
Does the LB220-EP require de-rating in extreme temperatures?
No. This breaker utilizes hydraulic-magnetic trip technology, which ensures consistent operation from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 85 degrees Celsius) without the need for temperature de-rating.
What happens if the ground fault protection on the LB220-EP fails?
The breaker includes a patented reset lockout feature. If the internal ground fault protection circuitry is compromised, the breaker will lock out and cannot be reset, ensuring the circuit remains safe.
