BE240H - 40Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker Description
BE240H - 40 Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker
If you’re dealing with equipment that can’t afford unexpected faults, the BE240H is built for that job. This is a 40-amp, 2-pole bolt-on breaker with built-in ground fault equipment protection (30mA), designed to shut things down before minor faults turn into expensive problems. It uses a thermal magnetic trip system, so it responds to both overloads and short circuits without overreacting to normal conditions. With a 22kA interrupting rating at 140VAC, it’s suited for systems where available fault current is a real concern. The bolt-on style also gives you a more secure connection than plug-in options, which matters in commercial and industrial panels where reliability isn’t optional.
Key Features and Benefits

Where It Works Best
- You’ll typically see the BE240H used in places where equipment protection matters more than personnel-level GFCI protection:
- Commercial distribution panels
- Industrial machinery and equipment
- HVAC systems and motor loads
- Facilities are trying to avoid downtime from ground faults
- Any setup where you need GFEP instead of standard breakers
