BRN240GF - 40A GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

BRN240GF - 40A GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

The BRN240GF 40 amp 2-pole GFCI breaker is built for one thing—protecting people from ground faults. If you’re working in areas where water or moisture is around, this isn’t optional. It’s the kind of breaker you install because you don’t want to take chances. It trips at 5mA, which is right in that range meant for personal protection. In other words, it reacts fast enough to help prevent serious shock. That’s why you’ll typically see these in kitchens, garages, outdoor setups—places where things can go wrong quickly. It’s also rated 10kAIC, so it can handle fault conditions without becoming the problem itself. Nothing fancy here—just a breaker that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Key Features and Benefits

• 5mA GFCI protection: designed to trip fast when it detects a ground fault
