Key specifications at a glance

• Current rating: 30A
• Breaker type: GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter)
• Suitable for: panelboards, switchboards, control panels, OEM equipment

Why the BRN130GF matters in your system

Ground-fault protection is a fundamental safety layer in electrical distribution. The BRN130GF continuously monitors current flow between conductors and will interrupt power if an imbalance indicates a ground fault. This rapid response helps protect personnel from shock and minimizes potential damage to sensitive motors and control circuits in distribution panels and motor control centers.

Ideal applications and use cases

• Industrial environments where heavy machinery relies on dependable fault protection within distribution panels
• Commercial electrical installations that require integrated ground-fault protection for personnel safety
• OEM equipment where a compact, reliable 30A GFCI breaker is needed to meet safety and compliance needs
• Control panels and switchboards delivering power to motors, drives, and other safety-critical loads

Performance and practical benefits

The BRN130GF combines strong overcurrent protection with GFCI functionality, reducing the risk of electrical shock and equipment damage caused by ground faults. Its design supports reliable operation in distribution panels and motor control centers, helping you maintain uptime and compliant safety standards in industrial, commercial, and OEM deployments.

Installation, safety, and best practices

Install the BRN130GF by a qualified electrician in accordance with local codes and standards. Verify proper mounting in compatible enclosures, ensure correct wiring of hot and neutral conductors, and test the ground-fault protection to confirm immediate tripping on fault conditions. This approach helps maximize protection, safety, and the longevity of downstream equipment.
