QF230A - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

QF230A - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QF230A is a 2-pole, 30-amp Type QPF2 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) circuit breaker designed to help you protect people from ground-fault hazards while providing dependable overcurrent protection for 120/240VAC electrical systems. Featuring Class A 5 mA ground-fault protection, this plug-on breaker quickly detects potentially dangerous leakage currents and interrupts power to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. With a 10kA interrupting rating and HACR rating, the QF230A is well suited for your residential and light commercial electrical panels where GFCI protection is required by code or specified for enhanced safety. Its plug-on design allows for straightforward installation in compatible load centers, making it an excellent choice for new installations, upgrades, or replacement projects.
