BR430 - Quadplex 30/30 Circuit Breaker

BR430 - Quadplex 30/30 Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BR430 is a 30 Amp, four-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. It provides protection against overloads and short circuits while allowing four conductors to be protected through a single breaker assembly. In applications where multiple poles need to operate together, a four-pole breaker helps provide coordinated protection and simplifies panel layouts.

Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism responds to both overload conditions and short-circuit faults, helping protect wiring and connected equipment from electrical damage. Rated for 120/240V AC applications with a 10 kAIC interrupting capacity, the BR430 is used in a variety of commercial, industrial, and specialized electrical systems where dependable circuit protection is required.

The plug-on design allows for installation in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters without modifying the existing panel configuration. Electricians often use the BR430 in equipment panels, machinery installations, control systems, and other applications where a four-pole breaker is specified.

You'll find the BR430 in manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings, workshops, control panels, and specialized power distribution systems.
