LB230-G – Product Description

🔌 What it is

The LB230-G is a 30-amp, 2-pole GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) circuit breaker made by Leviton, designed for use in compatible load centers.

It is a plug-on style breaker used in modern residential electrical panels for protection of 240V circuits where shock protection is required.

🧾 What the model means

• LB → Leviton Load Center breaker series
• 230 → 30 amp, 2-pole breaker (240V circuits)
• G → GFCI (ground-fault protection)

⚡ What it does

This breaker provides three levels of protection:

• Overload protection (too much current over time)
• Short-circuit protection (instant fault shutdown)
• Ground-fault protection (GFCI) → detects leakage current and trips quickly to prevent electric shock

It continuously compares current on both hot legs; if imbalance is detected, it trips.

🏠 Typical uses

Used where 240V circuits are exposed to water or higher shock risk, such as:

• Hot tubs and spas
• Pool pumps
• Outdoor HVAC equipment
• Well pumps
• Outdoor or damp-location receptacles
• Certain EV charger or specialty equipment circuits (code dependent)

🧠 Simple explanation

This is a 30-amp 240V breaker that also protects people from shock by shutting off power if electricity leaks to ground (like through water or a person).
