BR230ST - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

BR230ST - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BR230ST is a two-pole, 30 Amp thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. In addition to standard overload and short-circuit protection, it includes a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip that allows the breaker to be opened remotely through an external control circuit. This type of breaker is commonly used where power needs to be disconnected from a remote location, including emergency shutdown systems, fire alarm interfaces, access control systems, safety circuits, and equipment control applications.

Rated for 120/240V AC applications, the BR230ST accepts #14–4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors and carries a 10 kAIC interrupting rating. It is often used on dedicated circuits serving HVAC equipment, pumps, compressors, electric heating systems, machinery, and other loads where remote breaker operation is part of the installation.

You'll find the BR230ST in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, schools, healthcare environments, apartment complexes, and other properties that use remote disconnect systems. It is also frequently used during panel maintenance, equipment replacement, and electrical upgrades where maintaining compatibility with existing Eaton Type BR equipment is important.

Like many Eaton BR breakers that remain in service for years, the BR230ST is designed for continued operation when installed and used within its intended ratings.
