GFTCB240 – EATON 2P40A 240V PUSHIN BREAKER GFCI 5MA

The GFTCB240 is designed for Eaton CH (Type-CH) loadcentres and panelboards that accept plug-in style breakers. Because compatibility can vary by panel generation and available breaker spaces, we recommend sending us your panel model number so our team can confirm fitment before you purchase.

The 5mA sensitivity means the breaker will trip when it detects a ground fault current as small as 5 milliamps — the Class A threshold recognized as the level at which electric shock can become dangerous. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires GFCI protection for many locations including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor outlets, and equipment such as hot tubs and pool pumps. A 2-pole 240V GFCI breaker like the GFTCB240 is a common and code-compliant solution for 240V branch circuits in these applications.

In many cases, yes — the GFTCB series is Eaton's current plug-in GFCI breaker line for CH-style panels and may serve as a replacement for earlier Cutler-Hammer equivalents of the same 2-pole, 40A, 240V rating. However, it's important to verify that the series and plug-in configuration match your panel before swapping. Contact our team with your existing breaker part number and panel model and we'll help identify the correct replacement.
