FI36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FI36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Designed to deliver dependable protection across commercial and industrial power systems, the FI36030 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker from Schneider Electric (under the Square D brand) handles up to 600 VAC and 30 Amps with ease. With an interrupting capacity rated at 50 kA (and in some specs higher at 100 kA depending on voltage) this breaker is built for demanding environments. Whether you’re equipping a distribution panel, motor control center or heavy equipment feed, this unit gives you peace of mind and long-term performance.

Key Features and Benefits

• High fault-capacity protection: With an interrupting capacity up to 50 kA (and in many references up to 100 kA at 600 V) the FI36030 is capable of safely interrupting serious short-circuit events, helping safeguard your electrical system.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: The built-in trip mechanism responds to both overload and short-circuit conditions, giving reliable protection and reducing risk of nuisance trips.
• Multi-phase suitability: With its 3-pole design, this breaker supports three-phase systems – making it ideal for commercial/industrial setups.
• Durable construction for harsh use: Engineered for real-world industrial conditions, this device stands up to the rigours of heavy use and supports long maintenance intervals.
• Straightforward installation: Built with installer convenience in mind, it integrates into existing panels with minimal fuss—saving time on startup and reducing system downtime.
