FA26030BC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA26030BC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your commercial or industrial electrical setup with the FA26030BC, a high-performance molded-case circuit breaker engineered for dependable over-current protection in demanding environments. Designed for flexibility and installation ease, this I-Line plug-in 2-pole breaker supports an impressive interrupting capacity—rated at 18 kAIC at 480 VAC and 25 kAIC at 240 VAC—so you get powerful protection for both mid- and high-voltage applications. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism ensures precise reaction to overloads and short-circuit conditions, while the “B-C” phase configuration allows adaptability across a range of panels and setups. With rugged construction tested for continuous use up to 40 °C, this breaker delivers long-term reliability in motor control centers, HVAC systems, power-distribution panels and more.
