BE220 - 20Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE220   - 20Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE220 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 20-amp, bolt-on thermal magnetic breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection and ground fault equipment protection (GFEP) at 30mA. Built on a BLE frame, this breaker is rated for 10kA interrupting capacity at 115VAC, making it suitable for protecting branch circuits and equipment in commercial and industrial distribution systems. Its thermal magnetic trip mechanism delivers consistent response to both overload and short-circuit conditions, while the integrated ground fault equipment protection adds an additional layer of protection for electrical systems where equipment safety and code compliance are critical. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, the BE220 installs securely in compatible panelboards and load centers that accept BLE frame bolt-on breakers. This breaker is built to last and intended for applications requiring reliable circuit protection without unnecessary complexity. Its bolt-on mounting configuration helps ensure a stable electrical connection and secure installation in designated equipment.
