BJA36030 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

BJA36030 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BJA36030 is a 30A, 3-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker for your compatible I-Line distribution systems. Part of the PowerPacT B-frame series, it is used in commercial and industrial electrical equipment requiring a 30-amp breaker with I-Line mounting.

This breaker features an ABC phase connection, I-Line line-side termination, and mechanical load-side lugs. Dual-break rotating contacts help reduce peak current during short-circuit conditions, and the integral push-to-trip button allows manual tripping for testing and inspection. The BJA36030 is rated for interrupting capacities up to 100kA at 240VAC and 25kA at 600Y/347VAC. It also accepts plug-in auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and voltage release accessories. Built to last, this breaker is commonly used in panelboards, switchboards, HVAC equipment, motor control applications, and electrical distribution systems where a 30A, 3-pole PowerPacT B I-Line circuit breaker is specified.
