BE240 - 40Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker Description
BE240 - 40 Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker
The BE240 40A circuit breaker is built for one job—protecting your equipment before small issues turn into expensive ones. What sets this breaker apart is its 30 mA ground-fault protection, which helps detect leakage current early. That’s the kind of problem that doesn’t always trip a standard breaker right away but can quietly damage motors, HVAC units, or other connected equipment over time. It uses a thermal magnetic trip, so you’re covered on both overloads and short circuits—nothing fancy—just proven protection that works. The bolt-on design also gives you a more secure connection inside the panel, which is why many pros prefer it over plug-in styles, especially in commercial setups. If you need something reliable, straightforward, and built to do its job without surprises, this is it.
