HQP3030H - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

HQP3030H - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in existing electrical equipment, a 30-amp rating is only one piece of the puzzle. The Eaton HQP3030H is a 30A, three-pole Quicklag thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed around a specific combination of electrical ratings, mounting style, and physical dimensions. For legacy systems, those details matter: the breaker needs to match the required pole configuration, voltage, interrupt rating, mounting method, and breaker type—not simply the amperage.

Key Features and Benefits

• 30-amp rating — clearly identifies the current rating for comparison with existing equipment requirements.
• Three-pole configuration — Matches applications requiring the specified three-pole breaker arrangement.
• 240V rating — Provides a defined voltage rating for accurate replacement matching.
• Quicklag thermal magnetic design — Identifies the manufacturer's specified breaker type and operating mechanism.
• HQP breaker type — Helps confirm compatibility when the existing equipment specifically calls for an HQP configuration.
• Plug-on mounting — Provides an important physical connection detail to check before installation.
• Non-interchangeable trip — Clearly identifies the trip configuration supplied with this breaker.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The manufacturer's specifications identify the Eaton HQP3030H as HACR-rated, UL Listed, and CSA Certified. These documented designations can be checked against the certification requirements for the equipment or installation where the breaker will be used.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HQP3030H 30A 3-pole circuit breaker is appropriate for compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment that calls for its specific combination of 30 amps, three poles, 240V, 10 kAIC interrupt rating, HQP Quicklag construction, plug-on mounting, and a non-interchangeable trip. Its 3"W x 3"H x 3"L/D physical size should also be checked against the existing breaker and available equipment space.
