QCGFT1040 - 40 Amp, GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker Description
QCGFT1040 - 40 Amp, GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker
The Eaton QCGFT1040 is built for one job—helping you keep people and equipment safe from ground faults—and it does that job well. Designed for use in CH load centers, this 40 amp single-pole GFCI breaker monitors current and trips quickly when it senses a ground fault as low as 5 mA. That fast response helps you reduce the risk of electrical shock, especially in areas where moisture is present. It’s a practical choice for electricians and contractors who want a reliable, no-nonsense solution that installs easily and performs consistently. With a 10 kAIC interrupt rating and support for 120/240V systems, it fits right into a wide range of everyday applications without adding complexity.
