FA24030BC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA24030BC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FA24030BC is a 30 Amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for use in compatible FA-frame I-Line electrical distribution systems. With its I-Line plug-in design and B-C phase configuration, it provides the correct form, fit, and function for maintaining existing electrical equipment without requiring modifications. The thermal-magnetic trip unit responds to both sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions, helping protect connected equipment and branch circuits during normal operation.

Whether you're replacing a failed breaker during maintenance or keeping an existing power distribution system operating as intended, the FA24030BC is built to last and designed to match the specifications of compatible FA-frame installations.
