The Eaton QBGF1020 is a bolt-on style GFCI breaker from Eaton's QBG series, rated 1-pole, 20A, 120V, 10kA AIR. Bolt-on breakers are designed for use in compatible Eaton panelboards and loadcentres that accept the bolt-on (QBG/QB) style — they are not interchangeable with plug-on breaker slots. The built-in GFCI function eliminates the need for a separate GFCI outlet on the protected circuit.

The QBGF1020 includes built-in Class A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection, which trips the circuit if it detects a ground fault current as low as 5mA. A standard bolt-on breaker provides overcurrent protection only. The QBGF1020 is ideal for circuits in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, or outdoor locations where the Canadian Electrical Code requires GFCI protection.
In many cases, yes — provided your panel accepts Eaton QBG-series bolt-on breakers and the slot is rated for a 1-pole 20A breaker. Because bolt-on and plug-on styles are not interchangeable, it's important to verify your panel type before ordering. Contact us with your panel model and we'll confirm whether the QBGF1020 is a direct fit.
Yes. The CEC requires GFCI protection for receptacle circuits in wet or damp locations such as bathrooms, garages, outdoor areas, and unfinished basements. Installing the QBGF1020 at the panel protects the entire downstream circuit, making it a convenient alternative to installing individual GFCI receptacles at every outlet on that circuit.
