BE130 - 30Amp 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE130   - 30Amp 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE130 circuit breaker is a 30 amp, single-pole, bolt-on thermal magnetic breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection along with Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) at 30mA. Built on the BLE2 frame platform, this breaker is rated for 10k A.I.C. at 120VAC, making it a reliable choice for protecting branch circuits and equipment in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Its thermal magnetic trip mechanism responds to both sustained overloads and instantaneous short circuits, helping safeguard conductors and connected equipment from damage. For facilities that require ground fault equipment protection to reduce the risk of costly downtime and electrical hazards, the BE130 provides a practical, code-aligned solution in a compact footprint.

Designed for secure bolt-on installation, the BE130 offers solid mechanical connection to the panelboard, helping ensure consistent performance under load. Whether you're maintaining an existing electrical distribution system or replacing a breaker with matching specifications, this 30A breaker delivers the performance and protection expected in demanding environments.
