Q2430-100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2430-100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Q2430-100 100 Amp circuit breaker is a direct replacement for Q24 frame breakers used in many existing electrical panels. It’s designed to fit the same space and connect the same way as the original, which helps make replacement work faster and more predictable. The plug-on design means it installs without extra wiring or panel changes, which is especially helpful during routine service calls or maintenance work.

Rated for 240 VAC applications, this breaker is built to interrupt power when overloads or short circuits occur. That protection helps prevent damage to wiring and connected equipment while keeping the electrical system operating safely. It’s a practical choice for both residential and commercial panels where compatibility and ease of installation matter just as much as performance.
