BGA36030 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

BGA36030 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BGA36030 is a 30 amp, 3-pole PowerPacT B circuit breaker used in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. It provides you with thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits and is designed for use in compatible I-Line panelboards.

This breaker features an ABC phase connection, I-Line line-side termination, and load-side mechanical lugs for installation in Schneider Electric I-Line distribution equipment. Dual-break rotating contacts help you reduce peak current during short-circuit conditions, while the integral push-to-trip button allows for manual testing and inspection.

With interrupting ratings of up to 65kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC, the BGA36030 is commonly used in applications where maintaining proper overcurrent protection and equipment ratings is important. Its compact PowerPacT B-frame construction helps conserve panel space while providing the performance required in many commercial, institutional, and industrial electrical systems.
