FD3030L - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

FD3030L - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

When your circuit breaker needs to be replaced, getting the specifications right matters. A breaker can appear to be the correct one at first glance and still have differences that affect compatibility. Frame style, trip characteristics, terminal arrangement, and interrupting capacity all need to match the equipment already in service.

The Eaton FD3030L is a 30 Amp, three-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Series C family, built with an F-frame design for compatible applications. It includes a T186 thermal magnetic trip unit that provides protection against overloads and short circuits while maintaining the original protection setup of the electrical system.
