FA26030BC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA26030BC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Replacing your circuit breaker is usually about matching what's already in the panel, not changing the system. The FA26030BC is a 30 Amp, 2-pole FA molded case circuit breaker made for compatible I-Line plug-in panelboards with a B-C phase configuration. When the original breaker has reached the end of its service life or needs to be replaced during maintenance, this model offers the same basic form, fit, and electrical ratings needed to keep the installation consistent.

Inside the breaker is a thermal magnetic trip mechanism that responds to overloads over time as well as short-circuit faults. It carries an interrupting rating of 25 kA at 240 VAC and 18 kA at 480 VAC, making it suitable for electrical systems built around those specifications.
