CH240EPD - 40 Amp GFEP Circuit Breaker Description
CH240EPD - 40 Amp GFEP Circuit Breaker
The CH240EPD is a solid choice when you need dependable circuit protection with built-in ground fault equipment protection. Rated at 40 amps and designed for 120/240VAC systems, this 2-pole breaker is commonly used in HVAC and similar applications where protecting equipment is the priority. The 30 mA ground fault equipment protection helps reduce the risk of damage caused by ground faults, without the nuisance tripping that can happen with personnel-level protection.
This breaker uses a CH frame design and features a plug-on connection with pigtail, making installation quicker and cleaner inside compatible panelboards. With a 10,000 AIC rating, it’s built to handle fault conditions found in many residential and light commercial electrical systems. The common trip function ensures both poles disconnect at the same time, adding an extra layer of safety during a fault event.
