BF230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

BF230 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BF230 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 30-amp bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the BLF frame platform, this breaker delivers a 10kA A.I.C. rating and is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment applications. Engineered for consistent operation in systems rated at 40°C, the BF230 is manufactured to provide lasting durability and stable performance in commercial and industrial panelboards where compatibility and proper fit are essential. Its bolt-on mounting design ensures secure installation in panels designed for BLF frame breakers, helping maintain electrical integrity and system protection. Whether you’re replacing an existing breaker in a legacy panel or maintaining facility infrastructure, the BF230 offers the correct form, fit, and function required for safe and code-compliant operation.
