The CH230GFT by Eaton is a reliable 2-pole, 30 Amp, 240V push-in GFCI breaker with a 5mA trip sensitivity. Designed for enhanced safety, it protects against ground faults in residential and commercial applications. Easy to install, this breaker ensures optimal performance for your electrical systems, including hot tub installations.
Yes — the CH230GFT is a popular choice for hot tub and spa circuits. It provides the 2-pole, 30A, 240V protection those loads require, and its 5mA GFCI sensitivity meets the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirement for Class A ground-fault protection on hydromassage bathtub and spa circuits. Always verify your local inspection requirements before installation.
The CH230GFT includes built-in Class A GFCI protection at a 5mA trip threshold, which the standard CH230 does not. This means the GFT model will trip and cut power if it detects a ground-fault current as low as 5mA — providing personnel protection in addition to overcurrent protection. The physical size and plug-in installation method are the same.
Nuisance tripping on a GFCI breaker is usually caused by a wiring issue rather than a defective breaker. Common causes include the neutral load wire being connected to the panel neutral bar instead of the breaker's pigtail terminal, shared neutrals on the circuit, or a genuine ground fault in the connected equipment. Check that the white load wire connects only to the breaker's neutral terminal and that no other circuits share the neutral. If the breaker still trips with no load connected, it may need replacement — contact us and we can help source a verified unit.
