B-LINE GFAU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton GFAU ground fault alarm module work with any Digitrip trip unit?
No. The GFAU alarm module works with Digitrip 310 trip units only. If the breaker carries a different Digitrip trip unit, this module is not the right accessory for it.
2) Which Eaton Series C breaker frames does the GFAU module fit?
The GFAU ground fault alarm module is for K through N-Frame Eaton Series C molded case breakers equipped with Digitrip 310. Smaller frames below K-Frame are outside its range.
3) Does the GFAU mount inside the breaker or separately in the panel?
It is a remote-mounted module, so it does not install on the breaker itself. Plan panel or enclosure space away from the breaker and run the wiring back to it.
4) How much space do I need to reserve for the Eaton GFAU alarm module?
Allow for a unit measuring 6 in height, 5.4 in length and 1.25 in width. It is a narrow module but deeper than a typical DIN accessory, so check clear depth inside the enclosure before committing the location.
5) What does the GFAU actually do on a ground fault breaker?
GFAU is a ground fault alarm module (GFR alarm). It provides the alarm indication side of ground fault protection for a Digitrip 310 equipped Series C breaker; it is an accessory, not a breaker or a trip unit, so the breaker and trip unit still have to be ordered separately.
6) Is the GFAU module heavy enough to need a dedicated mounting plate?
At 5.1 lb it is substantially heavier than most control accessories of that size, so mount it to structure or a backplate rather than hanging it off wiring or a light bracket.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton ground fault alarm module?
Order it as GFAU, the Eaton Series C molded case breaker accessory. There is one model, so no finish, voltage or handing choice is required on the order.
8) Where do I find installation and wiring details for the GFAU?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the GFAU, and it is linked from the product information. Use it for the terminal and wiring arrangement before you lay out the remote mounting location.
