FA24030AB **Old Style** - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA24030AB **Old Style** - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're keeping an existing electrical distribution system operating as intended, having the correct replacement breaker matters. The FA24030AB Old Style is a 30 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker built for use in compatible FA-frame I-Line systems. Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism responds to both sustained overloads and short circuits, helping protect connected equipment and branch circuits under normal operating conditions.

This breaker features an I-Line plug-in design with an A-B phase configuration, making it well suited for applications where matching the original equipment is essential. With interrupting ratings of 14kA at 480VAC and 18kA at 240VAC, it is designed for 60Hz systems operating in environments up to 40°C.
