QP30 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

QP30 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right circuit breaker for an existing electrical system can be a little frustrating, especially when you're trying to match an older part. You need the right amperage, the right dimensions, and a breaker that works with the equipment already in place. That's where the QP30 30 Amp 1-Pole Circuit Breaker comes in.

If you're replacing an existing QP30 or maintaining a system that specifies this breaker, these details help take the guesswork out of finding a match. It's built to last in its intended application, with a straightforward purpose: provide the circuit protection your electrical system was designed to use.

Key Features and Benefits

• 30-Amp Circuit Protection: Designed for compatible circuits that require a 30-amp, single-pole breaker.
• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Mechanism: Helps protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits.
• 10kA Interrupting Rating: Rated to interrupt up to 10,000 amps of fault current at 120V AC.
• Type QP Design: Intended for equipment specifically approved to use Type QP circuit breakers.
• Space-Conscious Dimensions: Measures 0.75 inches wide, making its physical size easy to compare with an existing breaker.

Material Compliance and Certifications

A circuit breaker needs to do more than physically fit into a panel. Its electrical ratings, connection style, and breaker type must also match the equipment's requirements.

Specific material details and UL, CSA, or other certification information were not included in the available product specifications. Before installation, check the breaker's markings and the equipment documentation to confirm the required listings and approved compatibility.

Where It Works Best

• Replacing an Existing QP30 Breaker: When the original part number, ratings, and configuration match.
  
• Maintaining Older Electrical Systems: For legacy equipment that specifically requires this Type QP breaker.
  
• Compatible 120V AC Circuits: Where a 30-amp, single-pole breaker is specified.
  
• Electrical Panel Maintenance: When the panel is approved for this breaker type and connection arrangement.
  
• Like-for-Like Circuit Breaker Replacement: For preserving the intended form, fit, and function of an existing installation.
  
• Cable-In/Cable-Out Applications: Where this connection configuration is required.
