About This Product
The 2014 NEC has mandated Ground Fault and Arc Fault circuit protection on many 15 Amp and 20 Amp kitchen and laundry circuits. General Electric offers both Ground Fault and Combination Arc Fault (GFCI and CAFCI) protection in a simple to apply and cost effective solution. GFCI protection guards against ground fault as an effective means of preventing electrical shocks. GFCI circuit breakers accomplish this by detecting when current is "leaking" somewhere outside its intended path. If your body provides path to ground for this "leakage" you could be burned, shocked or even electrocuted. CAFCI protection guards against damage or fires which can result from arcing and sparking that can arise from deteriorated wires, poor connections and breaches in wire insulation. With more than 67,000 home fires claiming more than 485 lives and injuring 2,300 victims annually, the added safety provided by CAFCI protection is an important step forward in reducing this risk.
Highlights
- GE DFCI has important features for assisting you or your electrician in troubleshooting a trip, should the DFCI trip, the orange LED will blink to indicate the last known trip condition
- Indicates the last known trip condition by illuminating LED appearing for 5 seconds each time the DFCI is turned on for up to 30 days
- Unit's last known trip condition can be cleared by performing a series of functions provided in the instructions
- DFCI has a self-test feature that meets a June 2015 requirement from UL on all ground fault circuit breakers
- Must be used with a dedicated neutral can't be used with a shared neutral

Questions & Answers
Will this trip when using standard kitchen appliances (e.g., food processor even on pulse, blender, mixer) even though it has variable speeds?
This breaker is designed to protect against arc faults and ground faults, not against surges caused by appliances. While some users have reported nuisance tripping with certain electronics, standard kitchen appliances like food processors, blenders, and mixers should not cause the breaker to trip unless there's an actual arc fault or ground fault present.
Are the dimensions correct? Is this really 6 inches wide and long (across both columns on the breaker), OR it fits the standard breaker of 1 in H x 2.25 W?
The dimensions listed are 6.63" W x 1.32" H x 6.57" D. A standard single-pole breaker is approximately 1" H x 2.25" W. This is a dual-function breaker, so it's larger than a standard single-pole breaker.
What does the white wire on the breaker connect to?
Does this protect against ground fault currents DC content (pulsating DC)?
This breaker is designed to protect against ground faults, but it primarily focuses on AC ground faults. The specifications and documentation do not mention any specific protection against DC ground fault currents, including pulsating DC. For further clarification or specific DC ground fault protection requirements, it is best to consult a qualified electrician.
Will this breaker work in panel TLM3220C64GK (GE 200 Amp 32-Space 64-Circuit Main Lug Indoor Load Center Contractor Kit)?
Absolutely yes. Thanks for the question.
Will this work in a Bryant 200 A panel
Will this work with a Square D breaker box?
This item is GE brand so NO! It will only work in a GE box
Will this work in a GE PowerMark Gold Load Center?
Yes, this breaker is compatible with GE PowerMark Gold Load Centers.
