Technical Features

• Microprocessor-Based Digital Logic: Analyzes power leakage and electrical noise in real time, making decisions within milliseconds to ignore transient start-up spikes while tripping rapidly on genuine faults.

• Anti-Nuisance Tripping Technology: Designed specifically to handle the high-frequency harmonics and capacitive currents caused by Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and electronic motor controllers.

• 12-Point LED Diagnostic Trip Codes: Integrated LED indicator flashes distinct blink codes upon resetting to pinpoint the exact fault (e.g., grounded neutral, low-level ground fault, high-level ground fault, or overvoltage).

• High Interrupter Rating: Standard 10 kAIC short-circuit interrupting capacity at 120/240V AC.

• Versatile Wiring Configurations: Available in both traditional Pigtail Neutral (BRN230GF) and modern Plug-On Neutral (BRP230GF) variants, with large #3 AWG lug options.

Applications

• Heavy 240V Residential Equipment: Provides Code-compliant GFCI protection for electric EV chargers, hot tubs, spas, pool pumps, and HVAC compressor units.

• Light Commercial & Workshop Machinery: Ideal for equipment utilizing variable frequency drives (VFDs), such as commercial saws, pumps, air compressors, and process motors.

• NEC Code Compliance: Meets 2020/2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) section 210.8 and 422.5 requirements mandating GFCI protection on 240V branch circuits.

Buyer Guidance

• Verify Panel Compatibility: Fits standard 1-inch space Eaton Type BR load centers. Will not fit Eaton Type CH, Square D, or Siemens load centers.

• Neutral Type Selection:

  • Choose Plug-On Neutral (BRP) if you have an Eaton PON load center for faster, wire-free neutral bus connections.

  • Choose Pigtail Neutral (BRN) for traditional or older Eaton BR load centers.

• Sizing & Amperage: Ensure the 30 Amp breaker rating matches both the wire gauge (#10 AWG copper minimum) and equipment nameplate circuit requirements.
