Q2430-15 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2430-15   - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Q2430-15 is a 15 amp, 3-pole circuit breaker used in electrical panels that require a Q24 frame design. It’s rated for 240 volts AC and carries a 10,000 amp interrupting capacity, allowing it to shut down current quickly if a fault occurs. This helps protect branch wiring and connected equipment from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. Because it matches the original form and mounting style of Q24 breakers, it can be installed without changes to the panel, making it a practical option for replacements, repairs, or system servicing.

This breaker uses a plug-on connection, which keeps installation straightforward and helps reduce downtime during maintenance. It’s commonly used in residential, commercial, and light industrial systems where a 15 amp, three-pole breaker is required and maintaining proper fit is important.
