BF230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

BF230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens BF230 is a 30 amp, 2-pole GFCI circuit breaker designed for your 120/240VAC electrical systems. It provides thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection and 5 mA ground fault protection in a single breaker. The BF230 is used in compatible Siemens panelboards where both circuit protection and GFCI protection are required.

With a 10kAIC interrupting rating and bolt-on mounting, this breaker is commonly found in commercial, institutional, and industrial electrical systems. Its molded case design provides the form and fit needed for maintenance and replacement applications where matching the original breaker specifications is important. Built to Siemens standards, the BF230 is designed for long-term use in properly maintained electrical systems.
