E2030 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

E2030 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in an existing electrical system, the goal is usually simple — match the original specs and keep everything working the way it was designed. The E2030 30 Amp 2-Pole Circuit Breaker is built for exactly that kind of job. It’s a Type E thermal-magnetic breaker used in systems that require a 30 Amp, 120/240VAC, 2-pole configuration, especially in legacy panels and established electrical distribution setups.

Inside, the E2030 uses a thermal-magnetic trip system that reacts in two ways depending on the issue. If there’s a sustained overload, the thermal side responds gradually as heat builds up. If a short circuit occurs, the magnetic element kicks in immediately. That combination is one of the most common protection methods used in commercial and industrial electrical systems.

This breaker is rated for a 10kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC, making it suitable for many general-purpose applications within its listed ratings. It also includes a non-interchangeable trip unit, which helps keep the original factory-set protection characteristics intact — something that’s often important when you’re maintaining existing equipment rather than redesigning it.
