The Eaton 50 amps GFCI 2-Pole Circuit Breaker with Self Test is a plug-in, Type BR protection device built for indoor panels. Rated for 240 volts and 50 amps, it delivers reliable ground-fault protection across a two-pole circuit, safeguarding people and equipment on demanding 240V runs.
Why this GFCI breaker stands out
Unlike standard breakers, this model includes an integrated self-test feature that periodically verifies the sensing circuitry, helping ensure the GFCI mechanism remains ready to trip when a ground fault occurs. This reduces the need for manual testing and enhances confidence in protection for every use.
Product highlights
-
Type BR, plug-in mounting: Quick and straightforward installation in BR-series panels.
-
2-Pole, 50A, 240V: Enables simultaneous protection and disconnection on both conductors for multi-wire branch circuits.
-
GFCI protection with self-test: Built-in self-checks the sensing circuit to maintain reliable fault detection.
-
UL Listed and CSA Listed: Certified safety and compliance for residential and commercial use.
-
Compact footprint: Dimensions—3.5 in wide, 3.5 in deep, 6 in high—designed to fit standard indoor panels without crowding adjacent breakers.
Ideal use cases
Connect this breaker to circuits that require enhanced protection against ground faults in indoor environments—kitchens, utility rooms, garages, workshops, and other areas with moisture risk or where people frequently interact with electrical gear. It’s particularly well-suited for protection of heavy 240V equipment or multi-wire branch circuits where coordinated, two-pole disconnection improves overall safety.
Practical benefits and installation notes
-
In-panel protection: Provides GFCI at the source, eliminating the need for multiple GFCI outlets along the circuit.
-
Reliability: Self-test capability helps catch potential degradation in sensing components before a fault occurs.
-
Compliance-ready: UL and CSA listings give you confidence in meeting electrical codes and standards.
-
Indoor use only: Designed for dry indoor environments where panel access is convenient and safe.
With the Eaton 50A GFCI 2-Pole Circuit Breaker w/Self Test, you gain robust, space-efficient protection that aligns with common residential and commercial panel configurations while delivering peace of mind through proactive self-checks and reliable two-pole fault interruption.
