MP230 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

MP230 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in an existing electrical system, getting the specifications right matters most. The Siemens MP230 circuit breaker is a 30-amp, 2-pole, 120/240V AC thermal-magnetic breaker with an MP-T design and 10 kA interrupting rating. It belongs to Siemens' QP/MP residential circuit breaker family and is intended for compatible electrical distribution equipment that requires these specific electrical characteristics.

Key Features and Benefits

• 30A current rating: Designed for compatible circuits requiring a 30-amp breaker.
• 2-pole configuration: Provides the two-pole arrangement specified for compatible 120/240V AC applications.
• 120/240V AC rating: Matches the voltage configuration identified for the MP230.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Uses thermal and magnetic trip characteristics for overcurrent circuit protection.
• MP-T design: Helps identify the correct breaker configuration when matching an existing installation.
• 50/60 Hz: Suitable for systems operating at either of these standard supply frequencies.
• Clear replacement identification: The MP230 catalog number makes it easier to cross-check the existing breaker and equipment documentation.
