Description
The Eaton BRN230GF is a residential-grade Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker designed to protect against electrical shock hazards by detecting ground faults and interrupting the circuit. Rated for 30A at 120/240V AC, it features a two-pole configuration and a pigtail neutral connection, making it compatible with Eaton BR load centers and panels from Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger. With a 10,000A interrupting capacity, it supports #14–#4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors and includes a common trip mechanism for enhanced safety.
