FH16030B - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FH16030B - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Designed for dependable performance in demanding electrical distribution environments, the FH16030B delivers precise protection for your commercial or industrial panel. With a 30-amp, single-pole rating and a 277-volt voltage specification, this molded-case breaker from the well-established manufacturer offers a smart balance of performance, compact form-factor, and adherence to modern safety requirements. Whether you’re specifying for a retrofit or new build, the FH16030B gives you a trustworthy solution for safeguarding circuits and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Key Features and Benefits

• High interrupting capacity: With an interrupt rating code H (18 kA) at 277 V (and higher values given alternate testing parameters) you gain superior circuit protection and enhanced safety-margin in short-circuit or fault-conditions.
• Thermal-magnetic trip design: Offers both long-time and instantaneous protection—accurately responding to overloads and short-circuits rather than relying on slower or less precise methods.
• Slim, space-saving build: The single-pole unit occupies minimal panel real-estate, making it ideal for tight installations or high-density panels where every inch counts.
• Eco-conscious credentials: As part of the manufacturer’s premium-line offering, this breaker aligns with compliance standards such as RoHS and REACh—helping you meet regulatory and environmental expectations.
• Long-term reliability: Built using high-quality materials and precision manufacturing yield consistent operation and long asset life, which translates into fewer service calls and reduced lifecycle cost.
