BE230 - 30Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE230   - 30 Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE230 circuit breaker is a solid choice when you need dependable protection with built-in ground fault coverage for your equipment. Rated at 30 amps with a 2-pole configuration, this breaker is designed for use in 120VAC systems where both overload and short circuit protection are critical. What sets it apart is the 30mA ground fault equipment protection (GFEP), which helps catch low-level faults before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems. The bolt-on design gives you a more secure connection to the panel, making it a good fit for commercial and light industrial setups where stability matters. With its thermal magnetic trip mechanism, it reacts appropriately to both sustained overloads and sudden faults, helping keep your system running safely without constant nuisance tripping.
