QBGFT2040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

QBGFT2040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QBGFT2040 is a 40-amp, 2-pole GFCI circuit breaker with a bolt-on connection. It's made for 120/240 VAC applications and carries a 10 kA.I.C. rating. Along with standard thermal-magnetic protection for overloads and short circuits, this breaker includes GFCI protection for ground-fault conditions. So, rather than using separate devices, you get both types of protection in one breaker. The QBGFT2040 is a Type QB unit and measures 3.19 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep. It's a straightforward choice for maintenance or replacement work when the existing equipment specifically calls for this breaker. If you're matching an old breaker, check the full part number, including amperage, poles, voltage, and mounting style. Two breakers can look nearly identical and still not be interchangeable.

Key Features and Benefits

• 40-amp rating for equipment and circuits requiring a 40-amp breaker.
• Two-pole design for compatible 120/240 VAC applications.
• GFCI protection helps protect against ground-fault conditions.
• Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides overload and short-circuit protection.
• Bolt-on mounting gives the breaker a secure connection in compatible equipment.
• 10 kA.I.C. rating at 120/240 VAC.
• Combines GFCI and overcurrent protection in a single breaker.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• For projects that require a specific certification or material compliance standard, check the current documentation for the QBGFT2040 before installation. Requirements can differ from one project or jurisdiction to another, and certifications listed for another QB breaker shouldn't automatically be assumed to apply to this exact part number.

Where It Works Best

• The QBGFT2040 40 amp breaker is intended for compatible equipment that requires a 2-pole, bolt-on circuit breaker with GFCI protection. It's especially useful for replacing an existing QBGFT2040 or for maintenance work where the equipment specifications already call for this model.
