The GFEP130 by EATON is a reliable 1-pole, 30A, 120V push-in breaker designed with built-in GFCI protection at 30mA. Ideal for residential and commercial applications, this breaker ensures safety and compliance by preventing ground faults. Perfect for your electrical needs, it combines compact design with optimal performance.
The GFEP130 includes built-in 30mA GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection, which trips the breaker if it detects a ground fault current as low as 30mA — protecting both the circuit and the user. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires GFCI protection in locations such as bathrooms, garages, kitchens, outdoors, and near pools or hot tubs. If your circuit serves any of these areas, the GFEP130 is the code-compliant choice over a standard breaker.
Yes — a GFCI breaker like the GFEP130 provides whole-circuit ground fault protection from the panel, which means it protects every outlet and device on that branch circuit. This makes it an effective replacement for, or alternative to, a GFCI receptacle at the first outlet. Keep in mind that 30A circuits typically use NEMA 14-30 or TT-30 receptacles (e.g., for RV hookups or appliances), so ensure your receptacle and wire gauge (10 AWG minimum) match the 30A rating.
