HJL36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

HJL36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need high-performance circuit protection that won’t let you down, the HJL36030 steps in confidently. This 30-amp, 3-pole breaker from the PowerPact H series by Schneider Electric is built to handle demanding electrical environments with ease. Rated for up to 600 V AC (and up to 690 V AC per IEC standards) and featuring a 25 kA interrupt rating at 600 V AC, it offers dependable overload and short-circuit safeguarding that you can trust. The thermal-magnetic trip unit combined with dual-break rotating contacts helps reduce peak current during faults, which means better performance under stress and improved system safety. Whether you’re updating an industrial control panel, outfitting a commercial distribution board, or upgrading a critical load in a facility, this breaker brings serious capability in a clean, service-friendly package.

Key Features & Benefits

• High performance protection – With a breaking capacity of 25 kA at 600 V AC and compliance with UL 489, IEC 60947-3 and other global standards, this breaker is built for serious duty.
• Reduced fault stress on system – The dual-break rotating contacts cut down peak current during a short-circuit event, helping preserve downstream equipment and the integrity of the system.
• Flexibility for installation – A unit-mount construction with lugs on both line and load sides simplifies installation across diverse setups; compatible accessories and auxiliaries further expand application options.
• Manual test/trip capability – Includes an integral push-to-trip button built into the cover, allowing manual testing of the trip mechanism for peace-of-mind and periodic verification.
• Global environmental credentials – Part of Schneider’s “Green Premium” offering, with RoHS & REACh compliance and a life-cycle carbon footprint disclosure, helping you meet sustainability goals.

Where It Works Best

• This breaker is a smart choice across a wide range of settings. For industrial applications, it reliably protects motor feeders, control panels and distribution circuits where high fault-current capacity is essential. In commercial installations, it supports HVAC, lighting and power-distribution loads in office buildings, hospitals, schools or retail environments. Even in larger residential or mixed-use facilities where serious circuit protection is required, this breaker brings the performance you’d expect from a heavy-duty component—but still mounts cleanly and fits into standard panels. Because it supports unit-mount installation and is compatible with supplemental accessories (aux switches, shunt trips, etc.), it’s very flexible for modern electrical layouts.
