BE120H - 20Amp 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE120H   - 20Amp 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE120H circuit breaker is a 20 amp, single-pole, bolt-on thermal magnetic breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection along with 30mA ground fault equipment protection (GFEP). Built on the BLEH2 frame, this breaker is rated for 22k A.I.C. at 115VAC, providing strong interrupting capacity for commercial and light industrial electrical systems. Its combination of thermal magnetic trip response and integrated ground fault equipment protection makes it an excellent choice for safeguarding wiring, connected equipment, and panelboard infrastructure against overloads, short circuits, and damaging ground fault conditions. Compact in size yet built for serious protection, the BE120H helps maintain system reliability while supporting electrical code compliance in applications where equipment-level ground fault protection is required.
