FCP34030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FCP34030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need dependable protection for demanding industrial power systems, the FCP34030 delivers superior performance in a compact footprint. This 3-pole, 30-amp molded-case circuit breaker is engineered for ease of installation and long-term service in panelboards, switchboards and motor control centers. With a rugged frame type designated “FCP,” it’s intent-built to guard equipment from both overload and short-circuit threats, making it a smart choice for environments where safety and uptime matter most.

Key Features and Benefits

• High interrupting capacity: rated 65 kA at 480 VAC and 100 kA at 240 VAC, so it handles high fault-current situations with confidence.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: built-in sensors provide fast response to both sustained overloads and sudden short-circuit events.
• Three-pole configuration: protects all three phases simultaneously, ideal for many industrial and HVAC systems.
• HACR type: suitable for heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration loads, adding flexibility to use across HVAC control panels.
• Durable construction: molded case and proven internal mechanisms mean long service life even in tougher environments.
• Straightforward integration: fits standard panelboard, MCC and switchboard applications without excessive modification.
