Information About GFEP120

The GFEP120 is a molded case breaker from Eaton’s BR Series engineered with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and integrated ground-fault detection to protect homes and light commercial installations. Its construction supports reliable fault interruption, while the compact single-pole format fits seamlessly into Eaton BR load centers. The design allows compatibility with plug-in mounting systems, enabling quick replacement or new installations without complex wiring adjustments. This breaker is typically used in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where ground-fault protection is required by electrical standards and safety regulations.

Key Features

• Advanced Ground Fault Detection: Continuously monitors line and load conditions to identify leakage currents and rapidly interrupt the circuit to prevent electric shock.
• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Technology: Uses temperature-sensitive and magnetic components to respond accurately to overloads and short-circuit events for comprehensive branch-circuit protection.
• BR Series System Compatibility: Designed to integrate directly into Eaton BR load centers, ensuring a secure electrical connection and reliable long-term operation.
• Plug-In Installation Design: Features a straightforward mounting interface that enables fast installation, minimizing downtime during panel upgrades or maintenance.
• Single-Pole Construction: Supports standard 120-volt residential circuits while maintaining a compact footprint that optimizes panel space.
• 20-Amp Load Capacity: Handles typical residential power demands with consistent performance across lighting and general-purpose branch circuits.
• High Interrupting Rating: A 10kA interrupting capacity allows the breaker to safely clear high-fault currents, reducing equipment damage and improving overall system resilience.
• Long-Time and Instantaneous Protection Functions: Provides selective response to sustained overloads and sudden fault conditions using LI trip characteristics for enhanced operational safety.

The GFEP120 delivers the reliability and precision required for safeguarding 120-volt residential branch circuits under varying load and fault conditions.
