BE230H - 30Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE230H   - 30Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE230H circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 30 amp, bolt-on thermal magnetic breaker engineered to provide dependable overcurrent and ground fault equipment protection in commercial and industrial electrical systems. With a 22kA A.I.C. rating at 120VAC, this breaker is designed to interrupt high fault currents while helping protect downstream equipment from damage caused by overloads and short circuits. Featuring 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP), the BE230H adds an extra layer of safety by detecting leakage currents that can lead to costly equipment failure. Built on the BLEH frame platform and designed for secure bolt-on installation, it offers stable panelboard integration and consistent performance in demanding environments.

Whether you’re maintaining an existing distribution system or upgrading protection for sensitive loads, the BE230H delivers reliable circuit control with thermal magnetic trip technology that responds accurately to both long-term overloads and instantaneous short-circuit conditions.
