FAP34030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAP34030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

In many facilities, the electrical system stays the same for years. What changes is the occasional breaker that reaches the end of its service life. When that happens, finding a replacement with the same ratings and configuration helps keep your repairs simple and avoids unnecessary modifications to the existing equipment.

The FAP34030 is a 30 Amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker built for those replacement situations. It combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection and installs using a unit-mount design. With line terminals, load lugs, and an ABC phase connection, it matches the layout used in many existing commercial and industrial electrical systems.

Where It Works Best

The FAP34030 is commonly used as a replacement breaker in existing commercial and industrial electrical systems. It works well in compatible panelboards, switchboards, distribution equipment, manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings, and HVAC applications where maintaining the original equipment configuration is the priority. When the goal is to replace a worn or failed breaker without changing the system design, this breaker provides the proper form, fit, and function.
