ETNBRN240EP – EATON 2P 40A 33MA GFCI BREAKER

The BRN240EP includes built-in 33mA GFCI protection and a neutral pigtail wire, which a standard BR240 does not have. The GFCI function continuously monitors for ground faults and trips the breaker within milliseconds if a leakage current of 33mA or more is detected — a requirement for circuits serving hot tubs, pools, and similar equipment under the Canadian Electrical Code.

Yes. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 68 requires GFCI protection on circuits supplying hot tubs and hydromassage equipment. The ETNBRN240EP's 33mA trip threshold meets this requirement. Always confirm with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for any additional installation requirements specific to your province.

If your existing panel is an Eaton BR / Type-BR loadcentre, the ETNBRN240EP is a direct replacement for a failed 2-pole 40A BRN-series GFCI breaker. Before replacing, check that the neutral pigtail is connected to the panel's neutral bar and that there is no persistent ground fault on the circuit causing the trip. Contact our team or visit one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters if you need help confirming compatibility with your specific panel.
