C230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

C230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

The C230 is a 30 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Type C electrical panels. It's commonly used on 120/240VAC circuits where both poles need to open together if an overload or short circuit occurs. That's the purpose of the common trip design—when a fault is detected, both poles disconnect at the same time to help protect the circuit and the equipment connected to it.

If you're replacing an existing breaker, you're usually trying to match more than just the amp rating. The breaker type, pole configuration, and panel compatibility all matter. The C230 is a Type C plug-on breaker, making it a common choice for electrical maintenance, panel repairs, and replacement projects involving compatible equipment. Because it installs directly into the panel, it helps maintain the original setup without requiring modifications.

Its HACR rating makes it suitable for approved heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications, but that's only one of many places you'll find a breaker like this in service. The C230 is also commonly used for water heaters, air conditioning condensers, compressors, pumps, workshop equipment, and other dedicated loads requiring a 30 Amp, 2-pole breaker. In most electrical systems, a breaker goes unnoticed until there's a problem. When that happens, it's expected to react immediately and protect the circuit. That's exactly what it's there for.

Where It Works Best

• The C230 is commonly found in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems requiring a 30 Amp, 2-pole breaker. Typical applications include air conditioning equipment, heat pumps, water heaters, refrigeration systems, compressors, pumps, workshop machinery, dedicated appliance circuits, and other 120/240VAC loads requiring common trip protection. It is frequently used during panel maintenance and breaker replacement projects where matching the existing Type C equipment is important.
