GFTCB250 - 50 Amp GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

GFTCB250 - 50 Amp GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

The Eaton GFTCB250 is a 50 Amp, 2-pole GFCI circuit breaker that combines standard circuit protection with built-in ground fault protection. This breaker helps protect against overloads and short circuits while providing 5mA ground fault protection for personnel safety. With a 10kAIC interrupt rating, common trip operation, and a built-in GFI indicator, the GFTCB250 is designed for electrical applications where both branch circuit protection and GFCI protection are needed in one device.

When you're selecting a replacement GFCI breaker, matching the existing electrical requirements is important. The GFTCB250 is a two-pole breaker rated for 120/240V applications, making it suitable for circuits that use both legs of a 120/240V supply.
