GFB240 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker Description
GFB240 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker
The GFB240 is a 40 Amp, 2-pole plug-on circuit breaker for electrical panels that use the GFB series breaker style. It provides thermal-magnetic protection to help guard against overloads and short circuits, while the common trip design allows both poles to open together when protection is needed. The breaker is also HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, the GFB240 is used in applications where these electrical ratings match the existing installation.
When you're replacing a breaker, the details matter. A proper replacement needs to match the panel type, amperage, voltage, pole count, and connection style. The GFB240 plug-on design makes it a convenient option for compatible panels, while the two-pole configuration is intended for circuits that use both legs of a 120/240V system.
