BE240H - 40Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE240H   - 40Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE240H is a 40 amp, 2 pole bolt-on circuit breaker built for dependable protection in 140VAC electrical systems. Designed on the BLEH frame, this thermal magnetic breaker provides both standard overcurrent protection and 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP), helping reduce the risk of equipment damage caused by ground faults. With a 22kA interrupting rating at 140VAC, it is capable of safely clearing high fault currents in commercial and industrial panelboards.

This breaker is a practical solution when you need steady, predictable performance without taking up unnecessary panel space. Its bolt-on design offers a firm connection inside compatible panelboards, which helps maintain consistent electrical contact over time. For facilities running sensitive or high-value equipment, integrated ground fault protection adds an extra layer of security.
