BE130H - 30Amp 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE130H   - 30Amp 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE130H circuit breaker is a 30 amp, 1-pole thermal magnetic breaker engineered to deliver dependable overcurrent protection and ground fault equipment protection in 120VAC electrical systems. Built on the BLEH2 frame, this bolt-on breaker is designed for secure panelboard installation and long-term performance in commercial and industrial environments. With a 22kA A.I.C. rating at 120VAC, the BE130H provides high interrupting capacity for systems where fault current levels demand a breaker capable of responding quickly and effectively. Its integrated 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) feature adds an extra layer of protection by detecting leakage currents that could otherwise damage equipment, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring compliance with ground fault protection standards. Engineered with a thermal magnetic trip mechanism, the BE130H offers dual protection: thermal response for overload conditions and magnetic response for short circuits. This balanced approach helps minimize nuisance tripping while maintaining fast interruption during fault events. Compact in size, with an approximate height of 3.88 inches and a ship weight of 1.0 lb, it fits neatly into compatible assemblies without sacrificing performance.
