HGA36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGA36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HGA36030 PowerPacT H circuit breaker is a 30-amp, 3-pole breaker designed for electrical distribution systems that need reliable thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits. Dual-break rotating contacts help reduce peak current during a short-circuit fault, and an integral push-to-trip button gives technicians a simple way to manually trip the breaker when needed. Add in its 30A rating, 3-pole configuration, 80% continuous-current rating, ABC phase connection, HACR rating, and broad conductor range, and you have a well-rounded breaker for replacement, maintenance, or new installation work where these exact electrical requirements are called for.

Key Features and Benefits

• 30A, 3-pole configuration – Designed for three-pole electrical distribution applications requiring a 30-amp breaker.
• Thermal-magnetic protection – Provides overload and short-circuit protection without the need for an electronic trip unit.
• 18 kA at 600VAC – Also rated 35 kA at 480VAC and 65 kA at 240VAC under UL 489.
• I-Line construction – Features an I-Line connection on the line side with mechanical lugs on the load side for compatible equipment.
• Dual-break rotating contacts – Help limit peak current during short-circuit conditions.
• Built-in push-to-trip button – Allows the breaker to be manually tripped directly from the cover.
• 80% continuous-current rating – Configured with an ABC phase connection.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HGA36030 carries UL, CSA, and NOM certifications and is CE marked. Applicable standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. Its front cover is rated IP40 in accordance with IEC 60529, and the breaker is classified for Pollution Degree 3 under IEC 60947-1.
For electrical contractors, maintenance teams, and facility managers, those certifications make it easier to confirm whether the breaker matches the requirements of a particular system.

Where It Works Best

The HGA36030 is best suited for commercial, industrial, institutional, and facility electrical distribution systems designed for compatible I-Line equipment. It is an especially good fit when the application calls for a 30A, 3-pole thermal-magnetic breaker with an 18 kA interrupting rating at 600VAC.
Its I-Line line-side connection can help simplify installation and replacement in compatible equipment, while the mechanical load-side lugs support both aluminum and copper conductors across a wide size range.
